Terrible stay

The door wouldn't open properly and had to be slammed to shut. There were roaches in the bathroom area. The flooring was uneven and caused me to trip. The tv remote batteries didn't work so they gave me used ones from a personal remote. The remote also didn't work properly, like the power button

When I arrived they didnt have my room and "Upgraded" me to a "Queen" (which was really a full size) from a king, then refused to allow me to get my refund because " I walked away from their upgrade" so how is a smaller room a upgrade? And why am i liable for that when they had 3 weeks to warn me they wouldnt keep the room for me? And on top of that the room had waterstains climbing a foot up the wall in room 121. So still waiting on the rest of my $70. Its worth $20 to stay across the street if youre reading this. Youll get good breakfast and better customer service and above all a safer room. Wish i took photos but i was just planning to leave and get a refund. Btw they approved it to my face, but when Expedia called they denied and blamed me. There where i got the quote

The property is just bare bones, no breakfast, no lotion, just a very basic, no frills hotel which had stains on the blankets. I did not think Rodeway Inn was so bare bones, I won't stay there again.
