Start with killing two roaches in less than 20mins and right in front of a 12yrs old kid who hates roaches. The refrigerator picture speaks for it self. It was so bad that we did not even attempt to open it to find out whats in it. Just zoom in and see for yourself. The A/C was loaded with mold and if you dont have a strong stomach, you will vomit. Zoom in the window pic to see visible dirt. It was like this throughtout the room.
This zero star hotel is rated 7.8 out of 10 but someone needs to look closely. We've stayed at a similar brand before in a different city and it was by far better than this. This was a one night stop over for a few hours rest. But we couldn't sleep or "rest" properly before getting back on the road.
Besides the smell of smoke in the room, elevator and hallway, the room itself had a HEAVY cooking oil smell that seem to have accumulated over a long period of time... at least 2yrs+. The smell was coming from the walls, the floor, bed and the sinks. It's the same strong cooking oil smell you smell at the back of a chinese restaurant where the used oil is usually disposed.
We checked in close to midnight but when we tried to request a room change before unpacking, there was no one in sight. Even the phone number posted at the closed desk went unanswered. We basically sat on the computer chairs and the edge of the beds all night. And as soon as there was daylight, we hit the road.
Just FYI: can't add pic. Clicking on "add a photo" but not working.
