I really hate giving such a low rating, really. But sometimes it’s deserved and this is one of those times.
I had reserved 2 rooms for 2 nights to put the cap on an otherwise great weeklong family trip. We arrived around 8pm tired from a very long day of travel.
Upon entering our room, my wife and I each crinkled our faces and simultaneously said, “dog pee”!
The room reeked of dog urine! At the front desk a very nice clerk with a puzzled look gave me a can of febreeze.
I’m not sure whether febreeze or dog urine is more toxic to inhale, but the febreeze sure smelled better.
The next day we left the room early and remained out the entire day. Much to my disappointment, there was no housekeeping performed at all while we were out. The hotel had indicated they weren’t going to provide this service, but when a guest reports the room smells like dog urine.. I mean really?!?!
When I mentioned this again at check out, hoping that the management might improve the situation for the next guest, I was informed that all of the rooms with carpet have this issue and need to have the carpets removed and replaced with a pergo type flooring. I tried explaining that our room had pergo type flooring and they might want to rethink that solution. By the way, my father’s carpeted room next to ours had no foul odor. I think the most disappointing part of this entire debacle was that there was never any apology. Knowingly putting guests in a room soaked with dog urine surely deserves an apology or minimally, “I’m sorry you feel that way”. All this hotel deserves is a visit from the health department or maybe animal control.
