Plastic bags with dirty diapers float up out of the sea onto the beach. The swimming pool - in a parking lot - had a scum ring, like a dirty bathtub. The picture on their website conceals a road, a parking lot and a public toilet between the hotel and the beach. Disgusting!

The Embassy Suites Downtown Minneapolis is like a flashback from hotels of 25+ years ago … in South Florida. The decor is laughable deco with tile and faux palms everywhere. In the room we had a smoke detector hanging from the ceiling, several light bulbs were out, and the headboard was padded vinyl! All the [...]

Stonewall Resort, Weston, West Virginia

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

If you like the spring break style of rude obnoxious (locals?) quests who party until 4 AM with no mangement intervention, then you will love it here. Calls to the front desk are useless, perhaps they are all related to each other here. If you enjoy sleep, pass on this overpriced trailer park.

Branson, Missouri

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

This place is a complete sensory overload in the worst possible way. Everything about this place, the shows, the hotels, the terrible billboards everywhere, screams at you to waste your money on it. Silver Dollar City, the focus of my loathing, is a great example of everything wrong with this city. You pay way too [...]

The Inn at the Peachtrees, Atlanta, Georgia

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

The Inn at the Peachtree’s in Atlanta, GA was chosen mainly for location and that is all I got. It was in great location to everything, but it would have been better to spend 30 or 40 more to stay in a four or five star hotel. This hotel is really run down and outdated. [...]

Campanile Paris Quest, Paris, France

Monday, August 4th, 2008

No doorknob on the door just a big hole where the doorknob should be. We talked to the manager about this who said he would come up and take a look at it which he did and his reply was: yes, you are correct there is no doorknob…. Shower had chips in tub and moldly [...]

I made a reservation over the phone and this hotel booked me for the wrong day. They charged my credit card and when I called them up about it, they denied it happened and refused to address the problem. I had to file a dispute with my credit card company and this turned into a [...]

Rodeway Inn Kissimmee Florida

Monday, August 4th, 2008

When I visited the Rodeway Inn in Kissimmee Florida outside of Orlando the hotel staff was very rude. I suggest if you want to use pillows and towels then bring your own! It really was that bad. The bed sheets were dirty with hair other than my own as well as someone’s hair dried to [...]

Wynfield Inn in Orlando Florida

Monday, August 4th, 2008

I should have known when I walked into the Wynfield Inn in Orlando Florida, that it would be a bad experience because the hallway floors are very deteriorated, to the extent that you can see the rusted metal bars breaking the concrete. There was also a lack of maintenance that was so bad the hotel [...]
