Overbooked and turned away with nowhere to stay

Arrived and the front desk woman states that I have no reservation and that the previous owners have been overbooking the hotel for 6+ months. I was turned away with absolutely no help and no where to stay in such a small town. The woman appeared scared and untrained. Hotels.com called the property and no one was able to give them any information on the billing and if I would be charged or refunded. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible.

Went to check in, we were told the room we had reserved was not longer available and she was not too sure if they would have a room. Then she proceeded to let us know that there computer is not working, but there was not a computer at the check-in desk. The lobby was unkept and dirty.

We waited 30 minutes for staff to show up, only to be told there were no clean rooms. We looked around for assistance and saw the kitchen area full of dirty dishes. We cancelled along with another family with the same problem. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

The door lock was broken, no anti-slip mats or grab bars in the tub. There were only 2 bathtowels, one hand towel and no washcloths. The TV didn't work, there were no chairs in the room and the the curtains were too old and thin to block out the light. I was told the button on the counter would summon somebody ANYTIME of the day or night, but I never saw anybody after check-in, so I couldn't,'t let them know we decided not to stay another night. Another gentleman was trying to check in as we were leaving, and he finally gave up and left. I believe we should have been given a refund for the second night, but the hotel said no. NEVER AGAIN!! 😡
