Mold filled room

The room smelled like a dirty old basement and it stayed so wet in the room that my 3 year grandson is bruised and scrapped from just walking and slipping on the damp fllors. Mold all over the bathroom walls and ceiling. Mold all around the window. Security lock on inside of the door was missing. The shower walls was covered in dirt and someone else’s hair
Molded window

Have stayed in a lot of hotels. This is #1 WORST. Too much to list, I just knew I needed to LEAVE for somewhere else. Dirty everything, building in disrepair, dead bugs, loud cussing and yelling in adjoining/connected room with a flimsy door and did not feel safe or think that I would be able to sleep. Front desk was selling beer out is a fridge at the front desk and several people in the hallways were imbibing.

I’ve been to a lot of hotels, and I never expected to be fancy or top-notch, but this one was below my standards. The non-smoke room smelled like cigarette smoke. The entire the entire place was musty. The location felt unsafe, where the air conditioner was at on the second floor the entire floor around it was soft like it was gonna cave inand I saw cockroaches in the bathroom if it weren’t for the fact that I already paid for the hotel and I wouldnt have gotten a refund I wouldn’t have stayed.
