Board 8 > This is the worst hotel experience i have ever had.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Here is my review which i am going to be posting to as many sites as i can in the coming days.

This stay has been a nightmare and its only been 8 hours.

We booked three rooms and two rooms we were given had to be vacated with the third requiring maintenance.

The first room, nothing worked. Air conditioning, nope. Lights, nope. TV remote, nope. Safe, nope. Switched rooms, new room had working air conditioning but, and a staff member clarified this, to reach a comfortable mid 70s temperature you needed to set the thermostat to 65(the best bet is as low as you can set it, we were advised).

The second room, oh boy. At a glance nothing wrong with it aside the alarm clock not working(this is common in most of the rooms as the clock is plugged in behind the bed, so once it comes loose plugging it back in is troublesome). Then i decide its time to actually sleep and remove the covers of my bed and... Feces smell. On a bed I'd already been sitting on for a bit and just tried to curl in to get some sleep. Take a quick glance around the room, find a syringe left under the bed. Absolutely disgusting. Surprise feces smell and having to switch another room when ready to go to sleep for the night is a way to absolutely destroy a stay.

Icing on the smelly cake, the elevator to get to the new room smells of urine.

Oh, and the third room was literally missing lamps.

My smallest complaint, for a chain that advertises itself as a business minded hotel, the lighting in the rooms is awfully dim.

Its clear this place isn't given much care and uses its location to gather business it really doesn't deserve. Accommodations are clearly dated and in need of serious renovation. Stay far away, I honestly think I'd have been better off at the Motel 6 next door.

And there is currently no manager on duty til tomorrow morning at which point i get to see how much of a refund they are willing to give if any.

Oh, I'm currently at the Crowne Plaza San Diego for the extra curious. We were planning to stay here two nights but may try somewhere else tomorrow (though at this point, prices are unreasonably high and the choice is here or home, i think).

Christ.

The worst room I ever stayed at I found a syringe under the bed, but it didnt smell like shit.

Now I feel like watching This is Dan Bell's Another Dirty Room series on Youtube...
Also, there are like 20+ other hotels in the immediate area, holy.

But yeah, the worst room I ever had was in Santa Fe and that's becasue the neighboring room people rolled in at 2am turned on some Mexican music, continued to talk, laugh, fight and yell for 5 hours then proceeded to bang extremely loudly with screams and moans and hitting the wall with the bed for about an hour. I had maybe an hour of sleep that night. Then I drove for 10 hours the next day.

Was that around April of 2011?

You are now tracking this topic.

Holy crap that DOES sound like a nightmare stay. Sorry you had to go through that.

Man, you have higher tolerance than me. Usually I just walk out and get a refund and grab a hotel elsewhere

Like last month my work put me in a hotel that when I arrived had chicken bones on the floor of the room. The shower head was hanging out of the wall with the hole plugged in by kitchen roll. There was black marks all over the kitchen area, not mold but definitely not good. I found out the room at that hotel only qualified for housekeeping if you stayed for more than 3 nights which wouldn't normally be an issue for me but it clearly didn't get cleaned between guests either. I just instantly checked out and got another hotel down the road.

They refunded us the two rooms for the first might after they threatened to call the cops on me for video taping our conversation (instead of politely asking me not to record, the manager just ran for his manager and returned threatening to call the police).

wtf? This is at a Crowne Plaza?! I wouldn't expect that depth of shittiness from them

Here my worst was the bathtub suddenly being infested with ants.

I bet after the cops showed up, you'd ask them if you are being detained.

It looks like a location that was probably purchased and branded Crowne Plaza by IHG due to a large number of meeting and banquet areas.

Definitely not built as a Crowne Plaza.

Yes

no, but let's go with yes

It was the last week of May in 2015 at the Quality Inn.

The strange part was when I had first arrived there was a guy dressed up as Spider Man talking with police in the parking lot. I then saw there was a nightclub almost built into the hotel. Pretty sure there was a prostitute in the lobby. Weird people doing weird things in a van...Fun night!
