The Worst
I travel allot for my job and I'm in and stay in hotels all around the world. I recently stayed here on business, booked through Priceline which I normally trust in respect to star rating, not this time. This hotel is one of the nastiest places I've visited in my memory. The desk attendant was no where to be found on my 5pm arrival. Once I was able to find him he seemed confused by my prepaid reservation and attempted to charge me again. The hallways and common areas where depressing and worn and stale smelling. My room smelled terrible, had holes in the walls, nasty carpet and the bed spreads had burn holes. I sat on my bed and it collapsed under me. The bed platform was broken and a board popped out like a projectile when I sat on the bed. There was a note on the table saying that the water would be off that evening for plumbing repairs. The next morning after a bad nights sleep due to the awful smell of the place I was thrilled at the prospect of leaving when I discovered I had no hot water in my shower. There actually was scalding hot water if you adjusted the control but only a trickle. The shower curtain bar was barely hanging from a small nail on either end and linked as if the whole thing would come down if it was touched. I managed to get somewhat cleaned up with what I had to work with, kinda like camping, and proceeded to check out where I was unable to find a desk clerk to complain to. I looked at the breakfast buffet where a lady was pouring a bag of preboiled peeled eggs from a plactic bag which had a strange white gooey liquid in it, into the serving tray. I managed to hold back my nausea and escaped. Priceline rated this hotel 2 1/2 stars which is normally a Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inn category. I really dont know what this category should be in but I sure don't want to stay in anything like that again. I think this is what it must be like to live in a homeless shelter. Those poof people should have it better. I will prey for them.
