Worst experience ever

This has been the worst hotel and booking experience in my entire life. I have basically been robbed. My money is gone, and there has been no hotel stay. An adjustment to my reservation was requested 4 days before original booking but was denied by the property. Clearly before the deadline on their policy. I work in the hospitality industry and never would have expected this treatment.

The towels needs to be replaced. The towels were very rough. Had to go buy some new towels from Walmart. Had to ask for fresh coffee in the lobby.

Had worse, had better.

Hotel needs a deep cleaning, some updates and replacement of broken/worn out furniture. The cooked to order breakfast cost way too much and was the same basic self serve every other hotel has for free. I may have been confused on what cooked to order means.

Room did not have the beds as listed on booking

We booked a room that said it had a king size bed and a sofa bed. We got to the room at 2am and it was only a king size bed in the room. The front desk told us that all we booked was a king size bed. When I showed him my reservation he told me that there were no other rooms to move us to and that it was “probably because we booked through a 3rd party site because all he sees on his side is a king size bed. He offered no help until I got upset because my kids had no where to sleep. He then said he “might could find me a roll away bed” but kept blaming it on the fact that we booked through hotels.com
