Worst hotel you've stayed in

[NGT]

I'm there right now. Embassy Suites in Milpitas. My son's sports team picked it. It's 4am and I'm up listening to the freeway because their ac is centrally controlled and they have heat on. I had the ac set to 64, because it was 75 when we walked in the room. We crashed and I woke up at 1am with my room @84 degrees. I went to the desk and they said, "Here's a fan, turn off the ac, and open the window." Fuck this place! The fridge sounds like someone is peeing every 2 minutes, the carpet is ripped and stained, the couch is stained, and they charge 18 bucks per night for outside parking without security. This place is a shit hole. His teammates get here later today and I'd like to punch the people that set this up as our team hotel. I want my son to be with his friends, but I don't know if I can take 2 more nights of this.

I've stayed at trash $70 per night motels on fishing trips with walls made of cinder blocks that I've slept better in than this place.

I'm so mad right now. 4am...

Anything on a freeway or highway is asking for trouble. I stayed in plenty of shitty hostels when I was backpacking around Europe 20 years ago. People fucking in the bed right next to you, good times.

I've stayed in lots of shitty motels over the years. Some just had a pervasive musty smell, others the bedsprings were completely fucked to the point where you'd roll into the center of the mattress no matter what you did. Other times it was just run down, mostly run down. The only thing that made it better was I didn't pay for any of them.

Hotel Rwanda, but I should have known better. 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, but their Yelp reviews were terrible.

Red Roof Inn in Ann Arbor (had to see a specialist at the University of Michigan). Bugs, both alive and dead, in the bathroom, and people coming and going, talking, fighting, etc., all night long, right outside my ground floor door. Can't a man fap to his porn in peace?

 

[norton9478]

I pull into a place at 11:00 PM.

Me: Do you have a room?

[Clerk looks at the list]
"We are all out"
[sees the girl in my car]
"Ohh wait, we still have the $20 room available..."

Me: What's the $20 room?

"It's a room.... It's Kinda small.... It's nothing special..... It's $20"

when i went to atlantic city with friends for the first or second time we had to get an inexpensive room and chose this shit hotel:

El Greco Motel - Atlantic City, NJ

2 reviews of EL GRECO MOTEL - CLOSED "You gotta know what you're getting yourself into when you walk into the el greco motel, and really, how can you not when you walk into the "EL GRECO" MOTEL. Yes, there may have been many murders here. Yes, there probably was more than few rendezvous' with...

www.yelp.com

do not recommend. rooms were dirty AF, the carpets were sticky, and the bed was damp.

edit: looks like they closed for good. good.

 

[SpamYouToDeath]

The Palace Hotel, Kalgoorlie. The sheets were stained. The paint was peeling. The bathroom vent fan was jammed up with a dead bird and a good heap of bird shit. The place smelled like death and cigarettes.

edit: they had free water bottles in the fridge tho

That’s so fucking rude. I took my 1 night hostel bitch to the shower room in Paris.

I’ve traveled in India and Nepal and seen some truly fucking woeful hotels. Common themes I hated was cold showers, toilets that stank of shit and piss before you used them, tap water which could kill you, bed sheets stained with blood and or poop, no mosquito nets and waking up covered in red bites.

But the countries were fucking awesome, meeting other back packers from all round the world was cool, so 10/10 would do again.

The worst one I've been to is where I got scabies.

I typically do 60-80 nights a year. pre covid. 14+ years. Generally, I have very little complaints. 99% of mine are Hilton or Marriott chains, so the minimum level of quality is typically good. There's obviously the usual issues with mold and mildew in the bathrooms for the bad hotels. I stayed at Rochester Airport hotel this week, and that was their main problem. Use some bleach people!!

I've only left a hotel early once. All the potential bad things you've heard about the cleaning staff were true. They clearly just wiped down stuff with a wet rag, including all the glassware. I went down to the main desk and showed them, and they didn't care at all. This was a Marriott proper, but it was pretty old. I don't remember the city, but it was in a campus town somewhere in the south.

I've stayed in a ton of shit holes around southern OH, WV and KY when I was doing cell tower work. They almost always had the usual smells, dirty bathroom, people yelling, freeway noise etc. But we were usually so tired at the end of the day and up so early it didn't matter. The biggest problems were having a room right next to the main AC unit, sounded like a plane taking off every 15 minutes. Also lights from signs on neighboring businesses. Usually bars, gas stations and strip clubs. Nothing worse than flashing neon lights and a window with a curtain that doesn't close all the way.

Some shithole in Detroit when I was getting a physical for the Marines. Because of my spine surgery I was rejected.

 

[fake]

Some place outside of SF that my coworker picked out. It was disgusting, smelt bad, the shower had standing water in it and someone had recently taken a rancid shit when we got there. The guy offered a 20% discount to cancel our stay and then "rebook" with cash.

Another gross place was in Times Square. Luckily I had my own place elsewhere, but my friend had me drop by his hotel room, which had hundreds of bugs crawling out of the sink.

I also stayed at a place in DC and my room was right next to the elevator, which made clanging noises all night.

In 2019 I stayed in a Knights Inn near Salem, MA around Halloween. Everything else was booked. The place was on two levels, we were on the bottom level you could hear the floors creaking loudly when the people above you came in. The whole place was creaky and old and kind of scary at night. I think we saw a prostitute (I definitely had a prostitute outside my hotel in Palermo, Italy one time but the hotel want too bad, the city just seemed overall pretty crazy).

I stayed at Circus Circus one time because I went over Valentine’s Day and everywhere else was booked. I made the mistake of getting their Prime Rib since our plane got delayed and I was hungry. Fortunately for my girlfriend she just went to bed. I got horrible food poisoning, it was more because of the cattle processed and sent to Vegas I found out on the news that week so not necessarily their fault but I still don’t think it was very nice there.

When I was younger every summer we used to go to Gettysburg, Harpers Ferry, and another Civil War battlefield. We used to stay at the Hilltop hotel in Harpers Ferry. It wasn’t necessarily bad (I don’t think we had a tv in the room), but the dust was awful and everytime we stayed there my eyes were so dry I couldn’t sleep I’m sure from allergies. The hotel is closed now and there are some freaky abandoned videos of the place

One of the most interesting hotels I stayed at was the Hotel Metropole in Brussels, it was like shabby chic, the maids had French maid outfits on it was very dated but interesting. They had a picture of the Solvay Conference held in 1911 with the likes of Albert Einstein and Marie Curie in attendance I recognized from the Big Bang Theory, I thought it looked familiar and figured out where I saw it from while I was there, also a lot of celebrities seem to have stayed there.

After helping 16-bit at a convention, finding out the hotel room he booked had a hot tub. What made it worse was the girl behind the counter points this out to us. Of course, there is some asshole behind us waiting to check in saying "oh, yeah. You two are gonna have some fun tonight." Good times.

16-bit was telling me that the worst he ever stayed at where some guy knocked on his door at 3 am asking to use his microwave.

This reminds me of when I went to Vegas for the first time. I was with my dad and we stayed at the Excalibur and one day we were in a hurry and just got giant chili dogs to go at a stand inside the lobby. We both ended up with absolutely horrible explosive shits all night. That was rough, both of us with only one toilet.

Yeah I had that and threw up at the same time for two days it was real bad. My gf and I actually broke up after that trip, there were some other factors involved as well though, but this added to it for sure, because we were both miserable.

I thought it was supposed to be such a lovely place? With plenty of room?

Once stayed in a brand new hotel in the south east. We must have been some of the very first guests, everything was brand spanking new. There were two big doors in the bathroom which I opened thinking it was some kind of press/storage. To my surprise, there was bedroom on the other side with two young children fast asleep. Myself and wife looked at each other like WTF??? I quickly closed the doors and flicked the lock. My guess is that our room and this other one are sometimes rented out as one large room interchangeably. The hotel was so new the staff must have not realized the doors were unlocked. Thank god for those kids I was not some sick peado.

"It's a room.... It's Kinda small.... It's nothing special..... It's $20"

Yeah that's the room with the pinhole camera and the clerk jerking as he watches. I do hope you went with the $20 room.

Shittiest one I recall staying at was I think a Days Inn in... Bismark ND. I was driving out to MGC from Seattle and I got tired by the time I hit Bismark so just pulled off and I think it was the first hotel I came to. As I opened the door to the lobby I felt the need to leave and shoulda listened to that feeling.

They had an indoor pool. And the place looked like it'd been built in the early 80's and not kept up in who knows how many years. Pool + lack of upkeep = mildew/mold issues. Plus just the general run-down overall shittiness of it. Place had that old pool musty smell to it immediately when I opened the door. But being super tired and thinking it might just be the lobby as it wasn't too far from the pool I said fukit and grabbed a room.

Nope, room still had that musty mildew smell. It wasn't quite as strong and I thought mebbe it won't be so bad. I stayed just long enough to get 7 or so hours of sleep and bailed asap. But it was too late the mildew of the place made me somewhat sick w/a nasty headache. Was most certainly not worth the $85 or so that cost me.



Least sleep I ever had was at a Doubletree right next to the original MGC location. By the time I'd arrived it was late in the day so I got the last room available as it was fully booked.

Seemed nice enough, but the bearings in the AC blower fan were shot and holy shit was it squealing something bad. As it was mid-70's outside it was too toasty for me to not have the AC on. So I was stuck with it if I didn't want to melt. They tried sending the repair guy up to fix it but obv he couldn't bc is not like they have new AC blowers on hand. They tried to get me a different room, But one never became available as the place was booked solid the whole time I was there. Second day after the repair guy said he couldn't sort it out they gave me a big ass old box fan as a substitute. Fucker sounded like some WW2 prop plane it was so loud.

Couldn't even sleep worth a shit with both running at lower fan speeds. But hey, at least they ended up comping the room for my stay. So while I was dead ass-tired the whole time at least I didn't have to pay the $500 room bill. The lack of sleep was probably a major factor to why I had to go to urgent care at the end of the show to get stiched up...

Just pulled into an online special. Some woman was pulling the engine out of a wrecked car in the parking lot.
If I die of , naegleria fowleri someone test the pool.
