Don't Stay Here

I had prepaid for 2 rooms, but on arrival I was told they had only 1 room available, with 1 king bed. This was unacceptable as I was traveling with a business associate. I had also called 2 hours prior to my arrival to confirm that we were coming, and was not told about the overbooking issue. The night manager finally called a supervisor, who told him to give me a particular room. The night manager asked, "is that room okay to be used?" It was not. The room was filthy, stains in the tub/shower, squashed bug on the floor, bullet hole in the outer window, rusty screw on the toilet seat, chewed gum stuck on the headboard, mini-fridge not working. At 1:30am, someone opened the door (thankfully I'd used the latch) and shouted into the room, "Why is the door locked, who's in there?" When I responded that the room was rented, he apologized and said he was maintenance, and they usually use the room as a break room. The next morning, I explained what happened, and the 2 staff members (Alex the night manager, and Jessica) were completely unapologetic, and rude when I told them my associate and I would not be staying any longer. I cancelled my remaining 2 nights, and asked for a refund. I'm still fighting with them for the refund on my prepaid reservation. It's not allowing me to attach my photos below.

Please do your self a service do not stay here

Please do your self a service do not stay here, the toilet was clogged and when I reported it they gave me a plunger and the front desk guy said I don't get paid enough to unclog toilets, no hot water and when I wanted to leave and not use my second stay they said no refunds, but you are paying for a service that it is not provided. The place is run-down the furniture scraped the bathroom disgusting, according to sources they have been having problems with not having hot water for 3 months at least and the owner does not want to buy a new boiler, and the place is in a bad part of town the cops that showed up to kick me out because I complained ended agreeing with me and told me next time you visit Phoenix do not stay in this area I was told they caught people smoking Fentanil, doing drugs horrible the doors are patched up like they forced them to get in, terrible.

Apocalyptic

Meth heads everywhere, prostitutes in and out of the hotel & on the property. People's pets roaming the parking lot. Horrible smell. Bad plumbing, old, dirty, beat-up furniture. I will Never stay here again. The front desk people & maids were nice.

The property was dirty an had Roaches an when i found them in my room i asked for my money back cause i was leaving. An they said i signed a paper saying i agreed to as is. Unacceptable!
