Dirty room

Room was no where near worth it for the price. My daughter’s feet were black within 5 minutes of walking around the room. Dirt spots and what looked like a blood spot all over the floor. People fighting outside of hotel room from 2-2:45am.

I arrived in town early & asked if I could check in early and was met with a very rude woman. She told me no rooms were ready very rudely, she didnt take any time 1st to check what rooms might be ready, what room I had booked, or even my name, she just replied rudely to come back at 3;00. I've never had a major hotel chain not let me check in early, especially since it was well after everyone had checked out & she didnt even check to see availability. This is a strong relflection of staff who dont care. Everything sat in our hot car as I had to go somewhere until 6,30. When i returned to check in that evening the new staff were much more polite but it went downhill after. The carpets in the hallways were filthy with food & paper all over it, i thought maybe it was temporary but they never vacuumed the hallways our entire stay, and the carpet was bubbling up and coming off. The room was worse. We got a standard king; the whole room was humid and smelled. The carpet was weirdly damp, sticky and dirty. The bathroom toilet lid was stained yellow & the tub chipped. In the bedroom there was also a very obvious stain on the ceiling from a past or present water leak causing black mold. The room had a mini fridge but strangely no microwave. They had dove products which is fine, no breakfast which is usually standard but I knew that when booking, & only 1 side of the bed had a charger outlet. The bed was clean & comfotable but there were no extra pillows or sheets for the sofa bed.

Spent one night-friday. Live band weas great but the drinks at the bar were just ok. Unfortunately I left an unopened bottle of liquor in the mini fridge, called back same day of check out and was told there is a lost & found but house keeping was gone so I could only leave a message. Knowing they are 7 day operation I expected my call to be returned sunday, instead I left another message. Finally on Tuesday I called and was told that liquor is thrown out. I understand if its open but an unopened bottle is merchandise like a pair of socks. faily I expected a call
