Date summer 2009.
Hubby and I booked a room through a discount web site for Tupelo Ms.It was rated on as a 2 star Hotel.
This is what We experienced there.
We arrived quite late, after a long Drive. The Gentleman at the night window had our Key ready to go. We picked it up and Off to a non smoking room.
The first thing I noticed was someones shoes sitting outside of the room next to ours.We opened the door and walked in to see the following: the bathroom window had toilet paper shoved into the cracks to stop the draft I presume and had cob webs in it, the wall mounted soap dish had very old, crusty soap scale on it, the tiles were cracked,water stains under the sink, the shower had someone elses hairs and shaving residue in it/ soap scum. ( the shower also pulsed off and on if someone flushed next door) and mold in the caulking next to the shower, the bathroom mirror was so old that it had lost some of it glazing, part of the bathroom floor linoleum was missing, there was no safety door latch, so I used the vinyl wing back chair( you know the one with rips and tears and paint all over it?) to wedge under the entry door handle to obtain some feeling of security. there was no fire alarm, the carpet is stained and the room smells of an odor Im not sure what is was.The baseboard molding was very dirty and also had what appeared to be vomit? on it( maybe that was what I was smelling)the walls are scuffed and in bad need of new paint and repair, the night stand had a hole in the top and the dresser appeared to be broken. My pillow case had cigarette burns in it, and also the pillow itself was of some floral burlap type material the sort of which I have never seen before (maybe standard fare in the 60s? & 70s?) ( thank God I always bring my own pillow to hotel and motels)
the MIcrowave was stacked on top of the fridge, but the plug in would not reach the outlet, you would have to lift it off the fridge to plug it in, not to mention that the exterior of the microwave handle was nothing less than Disgustingly dirty, looked as though 100 greasy fingers had opened and closed it previous to my seeing it, the inside of the microwave was just as bad, it looked as though it had had some fire in it or something, it was smoked up on the inside. the inside of the fridge also had food particles left in it as well, there were dead insects in the window sills, tears in the curtains, the telephone jack was half ripped out of the wall, rusty, dusty nasty looking vents and return vent, dirt on the light switches.
Needless to say I would NOT personally rate this motel as a 2 star motel, im not even sure it fits within any minimum compliance laws there may be for renting rooms to the general public. It was non Hygenic for sure. I spent the night sleeplessy awaiting a bed bug or intruder forcing their way into my room. I give it 0 stars, I would never stay here again nor recommend that anyone else does either, but HEY, the towels were nice and fluffy.. I took pictures of the interior of this room I have included them in this review
