Stayed 1 night

First off I called the hotel directly just before I paid for my booking through Hotels.com to ensure I could check in upon arrival between midnight and 1 am on the day of my reservation for July 21. I was assured repeatedly that I could check in at 12;30-1 am in the morning instead of having to wait until 3PM in the afternoon. I even ASKED if I needed to book a second night....and they said I would be fine to check in early. Front desk person was RUDE- said I could NOT check in because my reservation was for July 21. I said it is the 21st. After I explained I spoke to someone at the hotel ( I missed getting Her name!) The front desk clerk further stated when I asked if I could pay for another night, that she could not even charge my card. I asked why not, She said it was because I booked through a third party. I said what can we do? I have no car in which to go somewhere else and I need to get some sleep. She charged me $83.99 for half a day. Snarky woman was barely cordial. The hotel itself was run down, The public bathroom was out of order. The ice maker was BROKEN! Room was meh. Bed covers were old, thin and had holes in them. Curtains were dingy and stained. Paint was newer but poorly done with missed spots and scrapes. Bathroom had 80's tile with mildew all throughout the grout lines, The tub was supposed to be white but was so dingy and stained it was gray in the bottom. The vent in bathroom was hanging by one screw. The ice maker was a real issue since I'm diabetic.

Stayed 1 night

Very dirty and unsafe room, sliding glass door lock was broken, wires running through the floor, moldy bathtub, strong bleach smell in the rooms made almost impossible to breathe. I can’t understand how a hotel is operating in those conditions. Expedia should verify the product before offer it to the customers.
