Highway-side 2-star hotel, I’m not expecting the Ritz. But I expect it to be clean enough to stay at with my two-year-old. Boy, was I wrong.
1st room they gave me smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. I go back down, got a new room. New room doesn’t smell. The listing had said there’d be a couch and cribs available. No couch, no cribs. So when I saw only two pillows, I called down for more pillows to help barricade my daughter on the bed.
She told me “that’s all we have.” I asked her how could that be, and she explained to me that they had a busy weekend and no one is staffed in housekeeping over the weekend. How do you have a busy hotel on a weekend with no housekeeping? So I couldn’t get any more pillows or towels.
I go in bathroom to start my kid’s bath, and the bathtub, floor, toilet sink are all dirty. I cleaned it myself with antibacterial wipes because my kid needed a bath. It was so gross. It looked like someone bled out or splattered red wine in the tub, plus hairs in tub, on floor & toilet, bug/dirt in sink. Just gross. I cleaned it myself, bathed my daughter, put her back in front of TV so I could shower.
THERE WAS NO SHOWER CURTAIN. How do you not have a shower curtain? And no extra towels, so I had to shower with no curtain & use towels we had to mop up the water. I was praying my kid didn’t walk into the bathroom while I was showering and slip and fall.
Try to sleep, constant banging of doors. Then the marijuana smell permeated our room. We left the hotel.
