    "We never slept here. The room was incredibly dirty. Stained sheets, stained carpet, god only knows what on the walls in the bathroom. The table and chairs were a table that folded out from the wall with a stick underneath. The chairs were two rusty folding chairs. The blinds in the window were busted up and only covered half the window. I honestly don’t know how they’ve not been shut down. We quickly found another hotel."
