Paid but couldn't stay. Slept in the car instead

There was a change to my travel dates, so I had to book an emergency day at the last minute. The parking lot was a huge red flag, people arguing and what looked like drug deals, but it got worse. The lobby was unattended and things in disarray. When the receptionist finally came in grom outside she was less than friendly. After I told her I had a reservation she informed me "I had a balance" . Apparently, it's a resort fee. This is NOT a resort, but whatever. I paid. Upon entering the room the smell was pronounced. The linens on the bed were disgustingly dirty. The bathroom didn't look like it had been cleaned and the fixtures are beyond old and unkept. The curtain was coming off the rod, the carpet was filthy. We immediately went and turned the keys into the door slot and left. I understand this is an extreme budget motel but I couldn't stay there. Unacceptably dirty, the environment is dangerous and the employee is rude. We ended up sleeping in the car.

Please DONT book!

My family and I were of course drawn in by the price. But literally 6 minutes after receiving the room key and trying to get my kids out of the car, 10 police offers swarmed the property with fully loaded guns and dogs to arrest a man just 3 feet away from my vehicle. My toddlers were petrified and were afraid to get out the car. Talk about scary…tried to shake it off and just go up to the room only to find a room door that couldn’t lock! Just a light push would grant access to the room…a room that was filthy beyond belief. The shower was filthy, with mold and soap scum, roaches scurried as soon as a turned on the light. I couldn’t bear it all. We packed our kids back up on the car and had to find somewhere safer and cleaner to sleep. The receptionist apologized for all that had happened- she was sweet but it just wasn’t her fault. She warned us though, that the manager was an “a/hole” and would still charge us and that we should let hotels.com know what happened. We’re fighting the charge; this wasn’t a safe stay from the moment we entered the parking lot and this manager should be ashamed for the condition and lack of safety of his/her property.

Check-in was easy but the place was disgusting. I specifically paid for a non-smoking room and it stank. There was no toilet paper and the floors were muddy with hair on it (even on the light switch somehow). Didn't even feel comfortable to have/use the shower. Location was great for but there's 100% better out there. Maximum one night stay.
