Dirty Dirty Dirty

We stayed the weekend at Sunday House Inn. We had to stay in a smoking room because we had dogs. No big deal, we have stayed in smoking rooms before and they have been clean and the smell was mild if at all noticeable. When we opened the door to our room the smell was terrible. I went to the store and 2 bottles of Fabreeze later the smell was still strong but tolerable for the night. The next day we tried to shower but it was broken, the hand towels had ashes on them and the blow dryer kept falling off the wall. We requested another room and told no so we insisted on another room and our request was granted. Up the stairs we went to Smoking room #2. The smell was better in this room and the shower worked. All the linens still stunk but no ashes, hurray! The toilet ran constantly and there was broken plastic from the light fixture above the sink on the floor and counter top. And last but not least, the hairdryer in this room did not work at all. We were informed that there were 3 maintenance people on staff, not sure what they are doing with their time. We only stayed at Sunday House Inn for 2 nights but that was enough to keep us from ever staying there again. After we changed rooms we were given dirty looks by the cleaning and maintenance staff whenever we left or returned to our room. The whole experience was very uncomfortable. We recommend that the owners and management staff of Sunday House Inn actually spend a night or two in their own Inn. I am pretty sure the cleaning staff and maintenance crew are ripping them off. Fredericksburg is a great town with good food and shopping, just choose another place to stay.
