The desk clerk charged my card before I even got to the property at 9 p.m. Then when checking in - after reserving a non-smoking king room - tried to put us in a smoking room and then charged us extra for the non-smoking room. (My phone was dead so I couldn't check my confirmation email).
In the room, the toilet would flush (as in the water did run in the toilet), but nothing would actually flush. The bed was very uncomfortable as well - hard, could feel the springs under you, and the springs squeaked a lot.
