Beyond Cheap
I had an early flight out of PHX and needed a room close to the airport. I chose the Travelodge because it was inexpensive and it's location. I wasn't expecting anything much but this room feel far below expectations. I stayed in room 112.
The room cleanliness was terrible. Stains on the carpet, stains on the furniture, stains on the bedding, it was filthy. I arrived after 10:00pm and needed to get some rest. If I wasn't short on time I would have checked out.
The cable didn't work. Upon inspection, the cable cord had been ripped out of the tv and was broken. Instead of replacing the cord It appeared someone had tried to stick just the copper wire from the cable cord into the tv and obviously that didn't work.
Whomever made the bed had dislodged the bed from the built in frame so I had to move that back. I put the comforter on the floor and used my t-shirt as a pillow case because everything around the room felt so dirty.
The bathroom was acceptable and the shower in the morning was fine. However my sleep quality that evening was very poor because I felt so uncomfortable with the surroundings. In hindsight I should have not stayed there and found another hotel. The time and money I saved were nowhere close to being worth it. I will not be staying at this location again.
