      Upon booking my hotel room for my pregnant wife, the hotel was advertised on multiple websites including the ****** search that it offered free parking and included a bathtub with the room, it was also advertised as a 3 star hotel. This incentivized spending less money on the room advertised. Upon arriving we were told they do not offer free parking anymore, which is false advertisement. When my wife was ready to take her bath (which was the whole reason we booked the room.) We were told the hotel does not offer stoppers as they do not allow guests to use the tubs.When asked why not we were told the hotel is old and it could potentially cause leaks. (Which implies they do not have the insurance or coverage for said events.) Not only this, but the quality of the hotel is a 2 star experience and none of the security locks on the outside of the building actually work, literally anyone and everyone can walk in and out of the hotel.To top it off, we were given the wrong hotel key to the wrong room, so we walked in on someone elses luggage and luckily we werent exposed to someone elses privacy. This also made us feel uncomfortable with our own safety with leaving our things in the room. Not only this, but the room we ended up receiving after this was corrected was right next door to that room, and the door was somewhat busted in and doesnt close fully.This is definitely the worst experience Ive ever had, and while waiting to check in I heard multiple guest complaining just like myself about the false advertisement of free parking.I am very upset, and I wouldve spent the money to book a 4 star hotel with a trusted name, had Id known I was being lied to.And finally, the room was advertised as having desks with chairs, and I do a lot of business on the road, there was no chair in my room and there was no peace for the night, and you can literally hear everything through the wallsIt also stinks like weed everywhere with low maintenance and dirty walls.

      The price and condition of this room was unacceptable! When we first checked into room 701 the phone or the ** didn't work. Went to the front desk and was told the non of the phones on that wing didn't work due to the floof being renovated., and we would have to use our phone to call the front desk if we need something. I ask the question why would y'all put someone on a floor being renovated? Didn't get an answer and was not offered another room. It was already late driving from ********, *****. The maintenance man came change the batteries and the ** came on. After unpacking I went to open the door to the balcony to look at the beautiful view and the whole door felt like it was about to cave in. After opening the door stepped out to find the guest next door smoking Marijuana so I couldn't sit outside. My husband and I went to the lobby saw security explained the situation and he said he would handle it. We went to whataburger came back to the room sat and ate our food. I got in the shower and while showering water was dripping on tip of my head from the light fixtures and the shower head was horrible. I have a video of this. Walked to get in bed and my feet was dirty from walking on the floor. Laid in the bed and it felt like sleeping on springs or boards it was ******* I woke up the next morning my husband and I barely got any sleep and our body was akeeing all over. Came down to lobby with all our belongings 9am was given the run around up until 11am. We were told we would not be charged for the 2nd night and we would be refunded 15% of our money for the first night. I told the lady ****** that was not acceptable and she said that was all she can do that I would have to talk to the Mgr **** after 4pm. We also has this is writing. We called and called could never talk to anyone about this matter. However as of today 7/22/23 we have been charged for 2 nights. And this is unacceptable!!
