Horrible Experience - OurGuest Inn & Suites
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/28/08
We were at the mercy of this hotel, traveling on a busy weekend during the Christmas in July weekend. We asked for a Non-Smoking room and clearly got a room that reeked of cigarette smell. The staff brought us a can of Oust that did nothing to mask the smell. They went onto say the room was non-smoking, which was hard to believe with the cigarette burns on the bathtub. To make matters worse after pulling back the sheets, the king size pillow was in a standard size pillowcase showing a number of foul stains and the sheets had hair on them. Thinking we dropped something behind the dresser, we went to retrieve it to be met with filth and debris that were difficult to stomach.
The wireless internet connection dropped every 10 minutes and unforturately was needed due to this being a working weekend for my boyfriend. He called the front desk and they said they didn't know who to call and couldn't wake the manager.
The ice machine was broke, no sign.... no anything.
I got a blanket out of my vehicle and slept in our clothes. We took the pillow down to the front desk and the manager looked at it and put it aside and said nothing, just shook her head.
The staff's reaction wasn't an apology, they did nothing. They said we could stay somewhere else, knowing full well the bookings for this weekend. That there wasn't someplace else to stay. They didn't offer to find us a room, they didn't offer to refund our money. They would give the name of the person who was to call us back. They did nothing except double the normal rates for this busy weekend for a less than sub-par hotel. The manager said they get alot of repeat business I can tell you it will never be us again and hopefully after our expereince won't be you either.
