There Was Literally Feces
Overall, the room was okay. One of the stove burners was broken so "Lo" was actually a red-hot medium high. There were a few cigarette burns in my blanket but it smelled clean and not at all like smoke so I didn't mind. There's bound to be wear and tear at a busy hotel.
The a/c and internet work.
Here's where it gets a bit graphic and there are photos so please ignore if you are squeamish.
Housekeeping missed a spot. Unfortunately I didn't notice until night, when the desk staff was gone. I bent down to pick up a tissue off the floor and saw the underside of the commode was smeared with dried poop. It looked dried. I did not test the theory.
Called the front desk at 7 am when they opened. Was informed housekeeping arrives at 8am and promised they'd head to my room first. I refused to use the bathroom, or shower and let all that dried feces steam and marinate and creep into my lungs so I waited...
At 9:15 am I called the front desk and said my patience ran out. Either send housekeeping or move me to a new room.
I waited.
Twenty minutes later housekeeping arrived and cleaned the offensive areas. Housekeeping was extremely thorough and apologetic.
And yes, whatever guest that leaves a toilet in said condition is an animal.
Under the circumstances, I think the 2-star review is appropriate. Maybe even generous.
