When we travel, we usually get pretty cheap hotels/motels, especially if its just a quick overnight. Sometimes they're kind of dinghy, but it's like "you get what you pay for". This hotel, on the other hand, is the only one I've ever felt the need to write a negative review for. I did not do my research. The picture looked good enough and i chalked the 4/10 review up to people being too picky. I didnt read reviews. As we checked in, a drunk man drinking was periodically shouting incoherent comments at us. They say the building is being renovated, but it seems more like they just tore the carpet up, installed new keycard locks, and called it done. The stairwell was unlit, with a sticky floor. The hallway was like old warped wood. I didnt notice at night, but it definately smelled like pee in the morning. Our room smelled like smoke, which doesnt really bother me much. The bathroom door didnt close. The carpets were gross. Not just stains, but sticky areas and gum in the carpet. The walls were not clean. We saw dark red stains on the wall and on the bottom part of the bed. We thought it was blood at first, but we concluded it was probably some sort of food/sauce, but it was still gross. The sheets had stains. The blanket smelled like pee. There was an old band-aid and an old q-tip above the light over the sink. It was no question the worst hotel ive stayed at. After seeing the room, we asked for a refund. We were denied. We did get "fresh" sheets and used those.
