Hotel called us. Said we had to be there by 8pm to check-in because she was going home. We had to change our plans and rush our arrival to meet her expectations. Next, the room was awful. Hole in the floor. Hair on the sheets. Rust everywhere. Very very run down. Paint wearing off everywhere. It was bad and I’ve stayed in horrible places. I won’t be booking here again.
