This is a budget hotel with little to no amenities, sheets looked like they were in a sand storm. Floors were sticky, and the room smelled stale.

Being a prior guest I asked for a flat sheet to put over the comforter on top of the bed and was told that they don't have a key to the laundry room when they're the owners of the hotel that pissed me off given I've stayed there before and late nice tips so I'll take my business elsewhere

Roaches on the floor. Vomit under an end table. Tv remote didn’t work and when I approached the front desk, was asked “why didn’t you bring this up earlier. When did you check in?” Expedia would not refund, so stayed through the night but left at sunrise the next morning. Worst hotel experience of my life.
