This property was filthy. My husband and I arrived to find a smelly, hot room, there were flies all in the shower and bathroom, several on the walls in the bedding area. There were little black hairs on the bed spread. The sheets were clean, but you could quickly see that the actually bedding covers were not. The refrigerator has black mold in it and the door into the street (we opened to try to get cool/fresh air) had so much trash in the space in between.
This was an experience AFTER having the hardest time locating the actual room. And once locating the room, we were informed we have to go another 12 minutes walk (with all our bags) to check in and receive the keys.
My husband and I were discugusted by the room and ultimately decided to book a Marriott hotel with my company discount just to get out. We didn't stay at all (other than the hour or so it took to find another place so last minute). Despite all of that, and pictures supporting our concern, the tenant was not willing to give us any sort of assistance or refund. His only offer was to have his housekeeping come the following day at 4 PM to clean (again).
This was a lower-cost room, I understand. So amenities were not expected, I realize that. We just wanted a simple room, on the water to really immerse into the culture, I am a Marriott employee, so finding a nice affordable hotel is not an issue. I was seeking experience. One that yes, was cheaper, but that is NO excuse for the absolute filth of this room.
