To be fair, I've stayed here before and everything went fine. That's why I came back again. So I shouldn't let one terrible experience ruin my overall impression...or yours.
That said, my stay was fated.
First, they were out of cookies when I checked in. An omen, to be sure; but since I'm on a diet, not a bad thing in itself.
Second, as soon as I walked in the room I smelled mold, mildew, mustiness that had to have been from water damage of some sort. Maybe the room above flooded or something. Everything felt sort of damp, so I put a tissue on the carpet in a few places, but it didn't soak up any visible water. I deduced that it was just basement dungeon humidity I was feeling.
It was late, and I was tired, so I didn't ask for another room.
That was my mistake.
But also, this room 127 had outside lights so bright that it seemed like daytime poking through a long slit along the wall that I couldn't cover with the curtains. It's amazing how irritating that was.
And once a few things go sour, you notice other things amiss - the tub faucet sticking out from the wall, missing tiles, minor stuff that I wouldn't have seen if I wasn't already annoyed.
I won't bother saying more since this was not my previous impression.
But it's likely I'll just pick another hotel the next time I'm in town.
