Don't Stay In This Hotel
WOW - I just read unhappy8254184's review and I thought I had written it!!! I totally agree with the comments. I too had an unexpected trip to Charlotte because a family member was in the hospital and having serious surgery the next day. The pictures on the web are NO WHERE NEAR what you will see in the rooms. My room smelled like "old cooking grease", the heat didn't work, I too slept in my clothes because I was scared to lay on the bed even in my pajamas! I wouldn't even drink the water to take medicine the next morning. The shower was either scalding hot or ice cold - no regulating it. Once you step out of the lobby, it is like you've entered a level of Hell! Dirty, nasty, gloomy, smelly - - - did I say dirty?????? We too complained when we were checking out only to be asked "well did you call the front desk with your complaints?" I told her no, because I would have been scared to death to open the door and let someone in my room. Another thing I thought was truly weird - - - the door was at least a inch and a half off the floor, so I didn't feel 100% secure. I travel a good bit and have never seen that in a hotel before! Bottom line - Motel 8 is probably a cleaner hotel - and they leave the light on where it won't be gloomy!!!!!
