I have never seen a better example of false advertising in my life. This place was absolutely disgusting. I would not even sit on the bed which was stained or take my shoes off. Carpet was filthy and no towels in the bathroom. Our view out the window was a brick wall. We immediately booked a different hotel all together and left immediately.

Run! Bed bugs! Dirty bedding & bathrooms! The whole place smells like feces! We refused to stay! Several customers coming out told us to turn around, the place was unfit for stay! The staff at the front desk cancelled our stay, but said because we booked third party (Hotels.com) that they couldn’t refund us the charges. We would have to contact them separately. We have NOT gotten a refund, yet!
