A lot of hotels just aren't ready to open. They failed to use the closure during the pandemic to ready and clean rooms thoroughly. So much is being blamed on Covid 19, when it is really inadequate maintenance and management.
This hotel just smelled - musty, dank, old, mildewy. Only one of the two elevators worked. Exited the elevator to a stained floor and an overwhelming odor. Entered the room, that had the same foul odor. The room had the guaranteed clean sticker on the door. Why was there a oat from the breakfast bar of the previous guest on the floor. Changed rooms. Same foul odor, albeit less intense. Gave me a terrible headache.
The rate was to include breakfast. Breakfast was an apple, granola bar, Sunny Delight, and bottled water. You could get coffee to go if desired. While waiting for my breakfast bag, I saw roach number one. Waiting to check out, and there was roach number one's other family member crawling down the wall behind the front desk.
Every time I went to the front desk, there were always other guests present. This indicates too many problems. I asked to change hotels, but there were still many hotels that had not yet reopened. Luckily while walking to breakfast we found another hotel the very next morning and checked out. Low lights will not hide the dirty carpets and horrible smell.
