Ants in room - water leaked on bed
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/14/06
I stayed in this hotel about two years ago and I STILL remember the experience. It was so profoundly bad that I thought I should add my two cents almost two years later (I was researching rooms for a new trip when this memory came back to me). Let me start by saying that I'm all about saving money... no frills needed here. I am not a hotel snob. I can say now (without hesitation) that it's worth a few extra dollars to stay somewhere else. I stayed alone on the third floor during a rain storm. The room leaked and smelled like mold. I could live with this somewhat.. but when the rain started pouring in on my bed while I was sleeping it was unbearable. Then in the morning when I woke up cold and wet, I noticed that there was a huge swarm of ants in the garbage can that were feasting on my leftover dinner. The garbage was near my suitcase so I had to clean out my suitcase as well. I complained in the morning and they gave me a $10 discount, but that still wasn't worth it. I later stayed at the Best Western on Riverside and I felt safe, warm and I was in a clean room. Never again will I stay at a Quality Inn. I even wrote a letter to the company telling them they should QUICKLY pull the franchise ownership because the people who run this hotel were giving them a bad name. Terrible terrible hotel... save yourself and spend a few extra bucks somewhere else... especially if you're a female traveling alone. I did not feel safe at night.
