Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities

We showed up a bit before 4pm and our room wasn’t ready. We left to run an errand, came back a little before 5pm and our room still was not ready. When we finally came in, there was NO AC. The lights flickered. The floor was still dirty since the manager told the lady to just mop and not sweep. It smelled like cleaning products so bad because they did not air it out, I ended up getting sick. They only removed the $15 parking fee (we were there for about 12 hours). When I complained to hotels, they called and the manager lied and try to say we were late (despite us having picture proof and proof of when my card ran for the deposit). This was supposed to be in prep for my wedding and this made the trip a poor experience
