Disaster from day one

Paid for a king room with a view and when I asked to be moved on a Wednesday when the hotel was nearly vacant, was told there wasn’t one available. Front desk attendant had an attitude. Ended up with two queen beds. There was no shampoo, bed sheets had blood, towels were raggedy and stained with lipstick. Had to ask to have our room cleaned three days after complaining. Could be a great hotel if managed properly.
