It was after 10pm on. Saturday & my mother, myself & my 3 year old were traveling from South Carolina to New Jersey. We were tired & didn’t need a five star hotel, but also didn’t need what this place had to offer, which was nothing but disgust. The address once put in my GPS, took us to an abandoned gas station. Once we saw the hotel behind it, I figured I’ll check with them. The front desk lady told me that the address is for there & I was in the wrong spot. Once she took her time explaining the address to me & the confusion, she proceeded to take her time checking me in, which was all hand written paper work. It was already after 10pm. I was tired, my kid was tired, just wanted sleep. She was on the “hotel” phone & then her personal cell phone while “checking” me in. The elevator buttons were all hand written & there were markings & knife carvings all over the walls of the inside. Place was dated & definitely run down. Pictures are deceiving, like many hotels. Got to the room to check it out & couldn’t find a light switch. Finally turned on the bathroom to find many cracked tiles, a cracked sink, peeked in a little further to see the blankets on the beds barely fitting. The smell was bad too. I looked at my mom & said, “Nope. Let’s go.” Grabbed my 3 year olds hand & went back to the elevator. I didn’t go to the front desk to even say anything. We just left. I did not feel safe there & could not subject myself, my mom or my son to that. We then had to drive an hour.
