disgusting, will never go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/25/08
I had prepaid for 2-rooms without checking the ratings. Learned from this experience to check the ratings first. Our rooms were on the 3rd floor that had a terrible stench like rotten red beets, hallway and room carpeting were worn and dirty, rooms smelled old, beds looked dirty, we did not dare lay our baby on the bed, rooms were cold, heaters were falling apart. We did not stay in the rooms any more than 5-7 minutes. When I asked for a refund, I was told I would be charged for both rooms even though we did not as much as sit on the beds or use the bathrooms. I was not about to bed my grandchildren in such filty rooms, we did not stay long enough to notice if they had tubs or only showers in the rooms. The smell did not allow us to stay that long. As we were in Reno for the basketball tournaments, we were checking into the rooms close to 11:00 pm,and ended up checking into a more suitable hotel after midnight. No way, will I ever return to the Travelodge in Reno, nor do I recommend it to anyone else. Especially if you have small children.
