Dirty & rundown, "last resort" option for visits

Aside from the beds being comfortable, this hotel is rundown. Rust colored towels from iron in the water, clearly not using bleach at the laundry. The tub diverter spout was barely hanging on & functioning, lose from the wall and brought the shower with former guests hair in the tub to a light drip. Holes in the wall were stuffed with black electrical tape rather than drywall compound. The ironing board looked like a prior guest wiped their bottom with it at the toilet. A chair that looked like it came out of the garbage it was so stained on the seat and arms. Desk chair articulating motion failing. Sconce light flickering in the hallway. Paint peeling from water water leak. Lobby stairs carpet in desperate need of a vacuum, plus stretch & glue as its lifting at the seams and bunching all over as you walk down the hallways. TV remote didn't work with batteries taped to the back. Just a very tired property clearly with the staff who don't care living on property apparently by their decorated doors and keeping this property in terrible condition. Choice Hotels should be ashamed of this product, ripping Purdue guests off price gauging on visiting weekends with big events. I'll drive an hour outside of Lafayette before I stay here again. Recommending to no one! Photos of all my complaints attached, I'm not a picky guest, stay in mid priced hotels like this 20+ nights a year, am an Airbnb host. This is just not acceptable level of care and cleanliness at this price point.
Electrical tape in holes rather than drywall compound and paint.
Diverter spout barely hanging on, flange loose meaning water running in behind the tub (watch out Room 149 below) and diverter pull barely sends water to the shower head.
What did someone use this ironing board for to have these deep brown stains? Gross!
Tile just falling off

Not far from Purdue University. Linens were clean. We booked 2 rooms and both smelled like sewage inside. We opened the windows, but the smell didn’t disappear. There was spider web on the ceiling and bathroom sink was clogged with dirt and missing a cap. Lobby and hallways smelled like spices and incense. Hallway carpet and stairwell were really dirty.

horrible

First of all I paid a premium rate $139 a night for a $49 a night room. Cockroach's in the bathroom, dirt all over the bathroom, door deadbolt didn't work so I told the front desk and she said oh well. I had to live with it. There were holes in the walls, NO coffee anywhere in the building. would not recommend even at $49 a night.

This place is also a temp housing type place for transients. When being checked in the front desk lady said she didn’t want to say my room number out loud so anyone could hear what room I would be in. Lock to hotel door is broken. Felt very unsafe and left.

It seems like the hotel is under some sort of repair. The lobby was stacked with new mattresses. My door was broken and unable to lock. Therefore, unable to leave my room for 1 full day. The Hotel eventually fixed the door before we left.
