If I'd paid a third of what I paid I would still have been paying too much. There must have been something big on in town so rooms were at a premium. If they are going to be extortionist about their room charges under these circumstances then one would assume the room would be clean at the very least. But no. Dirty marks on the bedding, unvacuumed carpet, mouldy shower. Not to mention the bedside tables were about three feet away from the bed on either side, air conditioning was noisy, tv remote had no batteries, pillows were like flattened pancakes, staff seemed like they were having a little party behind the desk - no greeting returning to the hotel that evening. Poor even for travel lodge.
