The front desk staffer was very understanding when I ask for new sheets to replace the original sheets. (Pictures are below.) I traveled to New Orleans, to sign documents and return my mother's body back home. She passed this previous week on vacation in New Orleans. All of my available funds were tied to preparing her body for transport; so when I got in my hotel bed to finally get some rest after driving from Tennessee, I couldn't afford to just pay for another hotel room. I over looked the bugs, the dirty countertop, and bugs because I was wet from the rain, traffic, and it was too close to midnight to even look for another lodging option. After getting in bed, exhausted, I began to run my feet together and they were greeted by a used female-pad in between the sheets.
It took a minute to settle my stomach, but after putting my clothes back on, I asked the first desk clerk for fresh sheets and gloves to change them myself. He mentioned making a note and the GM would be contacting me. I have not heard from the general manager yet, but I will be standing by for the call. This was definitely the worse week of my life, from the passing of my mom, the traffic, to my lodging experience. I love New Orleans, and I've been a few times in past but it's never been this horrific.
