Cheap hotel flip?

The property needs major renovations. The popcorn ceiling was coming down in one of the bedrooms and in the bathroom. You could tell there has been an issue with water leaking in the room above us and the ceiling had previously been patched because of it but was done poorly. They use cheap box furniture, one of the barstools was about falling apart because the bolts were falling out. The toilet seat was loose and slide around when sitting on it. No fan to help with moisture in the bathroom. The ceiling light covers in their "fitness center" were stained from water damage and were hanging from the fixture and there was zero air flow. Pool was extremely small and there were ants crawling around it. From speaking with other guests, this was not a unique experience. I loved the fact that we could have a 2 bedroom suite with each room having their own doors and a shared living space, however it looked and felt like a very cheap flip job. For what they charge per night, I was expecting a much nicer experience.

The Weekend Getaway

When we entered the parking lot it was spacious and plenty of parking. We walked into the front door and two gentlemen helped us get checked in. We took a look at the pool area and it was a lot smaller than we expected so we made the choice to not go swimming since we were there for a short amount of time and there were too many people in there. The breakfast bar area was pretty dirty, as people were taking items from there during the night. Overall the hotel was fairly clean and swept. We got to our room and noticed there wasn't any silverware but later found dirty dishes in the dishwasher, dirty table and dirty hotel book with advertisments for places to eat and things to do. I wished they inforced quiet time like 10pm. Out of respect for others staying at the hotel. It was loud and people were being obnoxious and we had to get up early for an event.
