BEWARE, authorities should investigate
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/1/08
We walked in to the lobby which did not look too bad, so we booked a room. We dropped our bags off inside the door of our room and left to spend what was left of the day downtown. We returned late evening and were horrified to see our room the next day in sunlight. The boxsprings under the mattress was torn and urine stained. The draperies were in shreds. The walls are covered in water leak stains. The phone jack was hanging by wires from the wall. The carpeting had toenails in it. The television only received a few of the listed channels. The bathroom should be reported to authorities, we have notified the Illinois Attorney General. There was "matter" caked on the faucets. The bathtub had black mold on the tiles, and filth had hardened and was on every surface. Worst of all, within a day of leaving we were covered in red bumps...bed bugs! I only hope a Galesburg authority reads this review and takes action - we have attempted to find a way to report the conditions to a health authority in Galesburg, but have not been able to find an agency we can contact. We have found internet reviews of this establishment with dire warnings from former visitors, laced intermitantly with suspicious bogus "pleasant stay" reports which I would suspect is coming from management themselves. Better to sleep in your car than to approach this establishment!
