Wear body armor and prepare to be psychologically challenged
I don’t even know where to begin. Upon arrival, we were told when we asked there was no breakfast even though this was advertised as part of our hotel stay. They offered us $5 McDonald’s voucher. Besides the fact that this could potentially buy us one cup of coffee and a single fry, my travel partner and I stayed there for a sporting event, leaving that type of cuisine off of our list.
The rooms were outdated. Our literal toilet seat was peeling and had embedded stains on it. The mattresses were awful- old and it felt like if you weren’t careful, you might sink into the middle. But that’s not really the major kicker- we discovered bed bugs in our room. We used the Seek app to identify the strange creature on my friend’s pillow. We then moved the bed and there was a live bug hanging out under the bed. At this point we realized we might be carrying some of these buddies home with us and let’s just say we were ready to pour bleach all over our bodies and seal ourselves in plastic bags.
But first, we decided we needed to have our money for the two-day stay refunded. I mean really- that’s fair. The staff then started to really mess with us. When we went back to the room to show staff where we saw the bug and the disgusting blood stain on the sheets from a potential nightime ambush, our initial little friend had already crawled back to safety. The staff accused us of using stock photos and said the pillow wasn’t theirs.
