The reviews on TripAdvisor are horrendous, many/most ranking it a bad 1*: TripAdvisor Reviews of this hotel

I used betterbidding.com's HOTWIRE link to begin this purchase. Please also do the same for your Hotwire purchases, in support of betterbidding.com. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your winning bid with the board.

Since you have 2 days before your stay, i would call (or email) Hotwire's Customer Service and ask them to re-consider the star rating of this property based upon the reviews... explaining that while you dont' expect a 4* experience you do expect clean accomodations. See if you can get them to refund this stay (if that's what you'd like) or downgrade the property (which if they do you'll be entitled to a refund as well)

If you pursue this route let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the post and new hotel for the Hotwire Hotel List... good luck.
