Worst Hotel I Have EVER Seen

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The bed sheets were stained, floors were not swept and the room was just in terrible over all condition. The area was very unsafe. The picture shows a white building....this building was brown and very run down. This room was so terrible we left. When i requested a refund i was denied by both the hotel and hotels.com. We will not be booking through hotels.com

Owners make you pay a 25 deposit when clearly the websites states no additional fees. They say it’s a deposit and you will get back at checkout. Straight up lies.

The heater in the room didn't work. The drain in both the sink and the shower were clogged and I had to buy drain-o and cleaning supplies to make it sanitary enough to shower in. The floors were not swept so even after getting out of the shower I had to immediately put on socks. I also had to buy washcloths because none came with the room. Every night there was either someone screaming in the parking lot until the wee hours of the morning, fire alarms going off, or cop cars in the parking lot.

Sheets had some stains but were clean otherwise. Odd crack in the floor by the door but the room was intact. TV wouldn't change off of Bravo but that could just be that the cable box was mounted in an odd location where the remote couldn't reach it.

NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The room smelled AWFUL!!!!! It had dry blood on the door that I didn't notice until it was to late. The tub was stained with nastiness. Spiders and other bugs were in the room as if they rented it. No outlets to charge your devices. I had to unplug the dirty microwave. It was alot of drugs and prostitution going on. I would have been better sleeping in my car.... it won't let me upload the pictures but if I could i would.
