Americas Best Value Inn review: customer service and no refund

I paid for a reservation online for 5 days through hotels.com. I called to see if we could get a early checkin before I made the reservation and they told me yes and it would be a $50 charge upon arrival . When my son showed up to checking the guy told him he would need to pay him an additional $100 up front if he wanted to check in. My son told him No the amount was $50 and the guy at the front desk tried to bargain with him telling him he would do it for $80. My son said no thank you and he would not be staying there. They refused to refund for the reservation, that was book 1 hours prior. This is a very shady establishment.
