When I came to check in, these people didn’t want to give me my room, they wanted to charge me for a whole other room. When I told them I give me the room I booked they were like “do you smoke” what does that have to do with giving me my room I booked. Worst ever won’t come back here ever again

Disgusting. Barely was there 2 hours wanted a refund because my room had beds full of bedbugs and guy at desk told me that was my choice to leave. I just needed a place for me and my 2 kids to sleep for a few hours while traveling instead i had to find and pay for another hotel in the middle of the night. Never will recommend to anyone! All i want is my money back. Hopefully people read this so they dont have the same peoblem i did.
