Disgusting room. Shady. No refund

2 weeks ago I booked a 3 night stay but decided to check out immediately on the first night. The room was fithly and I did not feel comfortable even staying in a different room. There was bloody toilet paper and hair scattered everywhere. The floor and table surfaces looked and felt oily and sticky. Very disgusting. I was told I would still be charged for the first night but could still get a refund for the 2 nights I didnt stay. They refused to give me a printed invoice with proof of me checking out. They took my email address and said it would be sent there and the refund could take up to 7 businesss days. I never received an email and have yet to get a ferund. I contacted hotels.com customer service to get some assistance. They contacted the hotel and told me that I would not be getting a refund at all. I am being charged for a three night stay when I did not even spend more than 10 minutes inspecting the room before deciding to check out in disgust.

This is the worst place. No water when we got there. Over charged on parking fee. Got put on the 3ed floor it has black carpets from never being cleaned ,dirt, stains and stinks. Staff were all High on drugs. The room was gross, smelled like cigarettes and dirty butt. The window fell out when i tried to get some air. The fire alarm started going off at 1:30am so no elevators. We had to carry our bags down the scary stairway where there people in there doing what ever. Saw the homeless just walk in & out. This was the worst experience we have had. We wanted to cancel but there were NO othere rooms in the city due to games. Thank goodness we had our own bed sheets as we were road tripping.

Never Coming Back

The rugs outside the room looked like they had not been cleaned in years. The towels were very small and rough. There were roaches outside the door. Parking was a nightmare. You are assigned a spot but because they don't enforce it, anyone can take your spot and since it is a small lot, that leaves you parking on the street if you can't find space. Although it didn't stink, it didn't smell clean either. Thankfully, we only had to stay one night; otherwise, I would have found an alternate accommodation.
