This place is an absolute dump. I arrived at approximately 6:15 p.m and was out of there by 6:35 p.m. the same evening!! Upon arriving I waited for 3-5 minutes for somebody to even show up at the front desk. Checked in....the young girl behind the counter didn't know how to do tax exempt....she called her manager to find out how to do the proper check in with tax exempt....while I waited she checked me into a room. I took all of my contents to the room but immediately became sick from the smell of the hallway and room. While I was checking the bed for bed bugs I found the linens to be covered with hairs, the mattress was mildewy black looking, the comforter was full of cigarette burn holes, etc. The room was cold so I started the heater and it blew out dirt due to not having a cover on the blower part of the heater. I hauled all of my contents back to the front desk and told the young woman that I couldn't stay due to the place physically making me ill from the smell and filth. She had already charged my debit card without even touching my card....due to the fact that I had made my reservation online. Once she realized that I would not be staying for the night she called her manager and credited my account for the room rate.....mind you my rate charged was more than what the sign hanging on the outside of the building was. Upon leaving the hotel I settled into another hotel near by. Once settled in I proceeded to check my account to make sure that the money had been credited back into my account.....well within hours there were other charges made on my debit card that I had not made. This young woman had all of my personal information and made a purchase for a "Magic Bullet" blender by using my name, phone number, home address, and debit card but had the product shipped to a local P.O. Box in the area. I immediately cancelled my debit card as well as filed a fraud claim!! I have never felt so filthy and violated in all of my life. I have spent the past few days trying to clean up this mess by dealing with my bank, the "magic Bullet" place, my credit (due to magic bullet expecting the 2 additional charges of the three for the product), and the police. The 15- 20 minutes that I stood inside the lobby at this hotel just to get checked in and back out there was so much riff-raff walking through the door. I wouldn't even take my pet to this hotel!! This place is bad news!! DO NOT stay at this hotel....you will be sorry!!
