Shocking

My visit was for Business
I've never stayed in such a dirty, uncomfortable motel in my life. I am a seasoned traveler around New Zealand, and I have realistic expectations, but even so, this place stunned me.
The room smelled damp the entire time I was there, and there was no way to open a window to rectify this. The carpet and the floor in the bathroom were both utterly filthy, and I couldn't get a clean towel in 5 days despite asking repeatedly.
The towel that was in the room had a mark that looked like and smelled like feces, so I was forced to use a t-shirt to dry off.
But it got even worse. The pillows were just a pillowcase stuffed with bits of foam and something else. They had no pillowcase over this, and I'm not sure how they wash these. Having smelled them, I am convinced that they don't wash them. The bed was entirely concave, and there was no way to avoid rolling to the middle and sleeping on the hardest part of the bed. By day 4 I had permanent back-ache.
The staff were rude on every occasion that I had to deal them.
