Walked into our room to find someone had gone poop in the bathroom and hadn’t flushed!!!!! The bathroom had dirty, wet towels in the shower and the bathroom was clearly ‘lived in’. The beds linens were not changed, they literally left the same linens on the beds. When I went to the front desk to let them know, they handed me the linens for the 2 beds and I had to change the linens in the dirty hotel room!!! This was the most horrible hotel experience. The area is booked up so we had no where else to go for the night. The dirty towels that lined the hallways should have been my first clue. Horrible experience and horrible hotel.
