My friend and I booked this place a few months prior to our yearly trip to Denver for baseball games. The pictures online made us believe that we were getting a pretty good deal. Then, we arrived.
The exterior of the hotel didn’t look too bad. It was obvious they were in the middle of a remodel as there were large dumpsters and equipment everywhere. The desk clerk was nice and got us checked in quickly to our third floor rooms.
We parked the car, got our luggage, and entered the “heart” of the hotel. Based on the dogs and cats in room windows, I figured a lot of people stayed long term.
The stairs were covered in some strange, old, slimy material which I believed could be anything from some sort of human fluid to that liquid that runs out of your trash bag. There were bags of garbage at the stair landing that never moved. If humans figure out a way to fuel cars with garbage, this place will be the first processing plant as there is trash everywhere.
There were people smoking everywhere. If you don’t see the actual people, you will see the copious amounts of cigarette butts they leave behind everywhere. There were people with obvious hygiene issues wandering around, and they seem to fancy either illegal sex acts or controlled substances.
My friend pointed out the crowbar marks on my door that were a contributing factor to the door latch not working and being busted off. I’d guess the police were involved as I saw the review about the barricaded intruder.
I went to set my suitcase on the table and the table fell off, spilling all of my clothes on the floor. They had simply put a table top on top of the legs without securing it. The wall mirror was on the floor. As I went to turn a light on, I noticed bare wires hanging from the socket. The TV looked like the one someone enjoyed the series premier of I Love Lucy on. At least I Love Lucy was clear in the TV. I couldn’t get a single channel without copious amounts of static.
If you wanted to try to wash the stink of the hotel off of you (since your rooms stinks of either cigarettes or weed) you better enjoy a cold shower since cold water was all I could have. The blanket on the bed looked like it had been stolen from a homeless person.
I could go on and on, but I won’t. I expressed my displeasure to hotel staff and they apologized as they were in the middle of a remodel. Yes, you are. But don’t advertise online that you are giving away newly remodeled rooms, then stick someone in a room that has less in it than an Alcatraz cell. The desk clerk let us check out and refunded our next two nights.
By the way; don’t try to use a towel to clean the disgusting floor. They will charge you for the towel. Or try at least.
