Dangerous. Disgusting. Drugs. Bugs

I did not stay! The tv had bugs coming out the back, hole in ceiling, bed ruffle stained, chair cut and no stuffing, microwave so gross, floor disgusting several stains, drugs, prostitution, room smelled like animal and strong pot smell. Front office was smokey from pot and cigarettes, signs about trafficking. I left and contacted hotels.com. Also ask for them to take it off site. Needed one night bc I messed up my booking at other hotel

The stair was fine. The thing I had a problem with was I was charged $100 cleaning/security deposit when I checked out the guy said that he had returned it and I have yet to receive any return from the hotel or hotels.com so I need somebody to tell me how to resolve this.
