Unhappy Customer

I had made my reservation thru Hotels .com for a king rm with a handicap roll-shower for $146.59. When i checked in and found I had a tub rather than a walk in shower i checked at front desk why? They said they only had one room like that it got double booked and the other person checked in before me so they got the room. I was not happy and could not take a shower from a tub!!

It was an overnight stay for work. Everything was clean and food options was amazing and next to a Walmart which was a bonus because I needed some personal items. Will recommend this hotel if I had to stay in this area again.

Airicula was awesome and breakfast was good. The room was tired. The bathroom had a cracked sink and mildew stains in the joint where the tub meets the shower wall panels. That is gross. The furniture was scuffed up.
