"When we arrived, there was a homeless person’s car parked near the front door in the hotel parking lot. Not a good start. The hotel was obviously ready to be sold. Lots of deferred maintenance. The room was completely unacceptable. The wall paper was peeling. The bathroom smelled like sewer gas. We had to keep the door shut with the bathroom fan running constantly. The fan clearly had not been serviced for a very long time. It sounded like a thousand crickets. The curtains were torn. I could go on, but you get the idea. We couldn’t wait to leave!"
