Don’t stay here

Probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The area was great, felt very safe. The main problem was how dirty the room was. The bathroom had hair everywhere. Most notably, the bathroom was not swept at all. That disgusted me right away. The room itself had a funky smell -not unbearable, but just not fresh. The door and walls were filthy. I took a few photos before leaving the room which I’ll include here. The other major issue was how thin the walls were. I could hear people right above me all night. I could literally hear their footsteps and vices. As well as voices from neighbors to one side of the room. The ac unit would also make a loud clunky sound every 15 minutes or so. The closet doors were completely broken off and were just placed in on top -any movement of them would have them collapse. The outlets in the bathroom also did not work. I am honestly not picky when it comes to staying at hotels, but this one devotedly takes the cake for the worst, especially for the price I paid.
