I was looking for a dog friendly hotel in the city. I called the Biltmore and explained we were looking for a clean upscale hotel. I was told this was a luxury boutique hotel. We arrived and before unpacking our car, proceeded up to our room. We were not happy. The suite was on the third floor, the hallway was sooo hot and it smelled like dirty sox's. Once in the suite the smell changed to a terrible feces smell. Then upon further examination there was a dark subtance coming from the ceiling, down the wall. My husband summized it could be bat feces from the attic. The so called couch, full of stains, had a piece of glass between the cushions. I wanted to leave that second, but my husband decided we should ask for another room, since we were pressed for time. Oh, and that couch I mentioned, they expected a teenager to sleep on it. We explained our distress about the room and were given a double room. The room was warm upon our arrival so we turned the air conditioner up expecting to be cool when we came back, hours later. It was not. The remote on the TV didn't work. We were told by the house keeper that we would have to wait for clean wash cloths as they had none. The room was dirty, there were crumbs in the sheets and the drywall cas coming apart around the windows. We had enough at this point. We went down stairs to the desk and said we did not want to stay there any longer. It was very late and the desk clerk said he could not get into the computer, we would have to wait till tomorrow for a credit. We reluctently stayed the night. In the morning, after no sleep we went down for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. After seeing the dirty area we decided only to have packaged food. I went for the yogurt. I opened it, only to discover it was chuncky. I looked at the expiration date, it was over two weeks expired. I took a picture of it with my phone. My husband was going to have a Jimmy dean sausage sandwich, but was scared because it was kept in the frig, who knows for how long. One thing I forgot to mention.. my husband looked at the air condition filter and it was terrible, plugged solid with dust. We couldn't get out fast enough. We went to the front desk and expected a refund on our credit card and were told that there was a cancellation policy. The man asked if we expressed our concerns, and we told him the night before, and the desk clerk admitted such. I don't know if he was the manager or the owner but he was rude and combattive. I urge anyone who has had a bad experience with this hotel to make a formal complaint. This place is not only dirty, and in need of repair, it is not safe.
