False advertisement. Nasty hotel.

It was awful. The room wasn't ready until 4 PM. The tub was so gross I wouldn't wash my feet in it. The floors were sopping wet. The bed covers were from the 1980s. The picture on the website is 100% false. This wasn't the room at all! The pool was the smallest I've seen. My son's Walmart pool is bigger. The water in the 1980's hot tub is brown! No cots were available upon request (because I didn't want to put my luggage on the nasty floor).
