I want my refund

This Hotel should not be in Hotels.com. The site is misleading customers by avoiding the important things. Just imagine walking to a bullet proof glass desk with a speaker window that is the reception area. The noise level of the Hotel next to a heavy truck transited highway when walking to the room is the prelude to a climax of terror that is about to happen. You enter to a disgusting smelling room impossible to descipher and you will never forget. Of course I canceled my stay and moved out. The person at the front desk told me I will be charged one night and refunded the remaining. But Hotels.com is not recognizing the situation and shows my trip as completed. This is so frustrating. Where is my refund? Lastly, this Hotel charges $200/night, this is absurd!!!

Unfortunately this hotel was not a good place. The room smelled very heavily of cigarette smoke so badly we couldn’t stay in it. Thankfully the staff gave a refund.
