We first arrived at 11:30pm after a long day of flying - we’d stopped for food and had hoped to have a quick and easy check in to go up to our room to eat. We typically have no issues with hotels.com bookings. The lady at the desk clicked a few things, gave us our key cards, and then forgot as we were walking away to have me sign a form (this whole process took 5-7 minutes). I sent my partner up to the room while I signed the form. He called me and said “there’s a tag on the door that says ‘not ready’”. By the time I made it up he’d tried opening the door but it was safety/emergency latched and we heard someone IN THE ROOM! They gave us keys to a room with a person in it - thank God I was with him and not by myself, and thank God that person had the latch pulled. We went back downstairs a little confused and shaken and the woman at the front apologized, then spent at least another 15 minutes clicking on her computer to tell us that she doesn’t have any rooms with the same bed size. At this point my blood sugar was low, we were exhausted, and I was trying my best to stay civil. Told her to put us in whatever room they had available and we’d talk to the manager in the morning - funny how with the mention of a manager we immediately were put in a room. The manager then told us she wouldn’t refund any amount because we booked through a third party. Overall one of the worst, and most dangerous, hotel experiences I’ve had yet. The view from the room was nice and breakfast was good.

The hotel was fine - as you expect for a low budget place. The pull out sofa bed was terrible - so don't plan to use it (old dingy mattress, bar feel under bed).

I reserved a specific room (Suite with extra floor space) which was detailed out with pictures. It was the most expensive room, but perfect for my purpose - a separate area for sitting with 4 people. Room cleaning from night before was way behind, still cleaning rooms at 4:00, which is when we checked in. We were told they upgrade us to presidential room, which is not a room on their website. They promised it was better than what I specifically reserved, and that "we didn't need the one I reserved because it is for people staying multiple nights". Our room was an accessible room, without the separate sitting area for 4, instead a long wide hallway with couch and chairs against the exterior wall. 1/2 of the seating was in the bedroom. Bottom line, they lied at check-in, and made a shift to accommodate their goals, instead of what I specifically reserved and paid for. My feeling is this hotel has guaranteed business most nights, is overwhelmed when busy, cleaning staff is too small or not efficient, and management is questionable for the amount of customers and money coming through the door. Of course when I make a reservation for the most expensive room with a specific layout, don't change my Room and lie about the "upgrade".
