I’ve stayed in some questionable places before, but this one takes the cake for being the dirtiest places ever. First off, let’s talk about the room you get what you get for $144 a night – I think the last time it was cleaned was the day Motel 6 in Washington DC first opened. There were marker scribbles all over the walls like a toddler got loose with a Sharpie. Cigarette burns on the bed sheets? Sure, it was a smoking room, but come on
The next thing was a huge water stain on the wall that looked like it had been there since the last ice age. I’m not even sure what it was – some sort of ancient drip formation. Maybe a secret message from the past? If you think the wall is bad, wait till you spot the baseboard – it has a mystery wax splatter, more so a mystery fluid that we have yet to figure out for sure what it is.
And don’t even get me started on the bathroom. I’m pretty sure someone used the tub as an ashtray. But no worries, there’s more fun: A hair perfectly placed on the top towel – just in case you wanted to start your day with a surprise. The window had clearly never been cleaned, not in this century anyway, and I’m guessing the surrounding area had been left in a time capsule.
All in all, this place is a "surprise" – if you love discovering new ways hotels can surprise you with dirt and neglect, this place is for you. Maybe I’ll come back... but only if I’m on a reality TV show about survival. Avoid if you value your sanity.
