The power cords to the side table lamps were severely damaged, bent, and one of them the ground was busted off in the socket, while it was barely plugged in, pinched behind the bed that was also broken. The beds sprigs were completely shot. Now let’s move on to the absolute filth that I found under the bed where my head would be, old used food wrappers, and a huge bag of chewed on pistachio shells. Then there’s the stains on the mattress cover, the hoes in the walls and paint that had been scraped off the walls, moldy caulk and zero seals around the main door.

There's a reason this was one of the last available rooms in Ames due to a convention in town. The crickets on the linoleum floor were easy to catch before I laid down on the moist bed to rest, decided to get up, get my bag and sleep in the car.

Last night around 11:30pm I made a reservation, but after I completed it I noticed it changed the intended location. I was trying to make the reservation for Salt Lake City, but it was done for Ames in Iowa. We called the hotel and they told we need to fix this problem with expedia. Once I call expedia they told me: Alright. As I see, the hotel policy states, "The room type and rate selected are non-refundable. Should you change or cancel this reservation for any reason, your payment will not be refunded." Now They have stolen me vile, for the two sides washed their hands in the matter
