I don't know how much worse it can be, but I believe the local ownership of this flag's just banking upon the notion that if they're $1-5 cheaper per night vs the adjacent options, you'll still choose them, and they can squeeze operations for profit. Check-in awaited 6 mins @ desk before lady ~15' away just behind a wall (talking) came out to give key, room had no towels except one WET towel so had to go back down to get fresh ones, next night the key didn't work to enter the building ~830pm as 2ppl on staff watched me struggling for ~3mins and did not come to help until I rapped on glass, then when I got up to the room they hadn't cleaned it despite having been out of the room since 8am for a funeral/reception all day. Spare me the 'we regret' stuff, they're just running it as frugal as they can, pretty standard fare in the hotel world at the bottom. I had put the "please clean" sign on door right at 8am when I left and it was still facing that way when I returned ~13hrs later.

There were no towels in my room. Around midnight, someone was using a key to try to get in my room. They tried several times and finally got it unlocked. Luckily, I had the safety gash on or they would have been in my room. This is HIGHLU unacceptable and I will be speaking to corporate about this very dangerous situation. This hotel put me in.

I checked out at 4:50 am. No one was at the front desk. Some of the people staying there seemed like recovering drug addicts. There was a small basket with a note attached to it saying drop off room key here and a receipt will be send to the email on file. I didn’t feel comfortable leaving my room key in the basket because I was afraid some will grab it and go into the room. Room number was on it. I called in hopes someone to pick up. Someone picked up and placed me on hold. After 10 mins I called back to back no answer. At 8:41am I called to ask if I was checked. To my surprise I wasn’t checked out. The gentleman on the phone said not to worry he would check me. And to have a good day. Service wasn’t the greatest.
