This was a last-minute trip, and I reluctantly had to settle for a hotel chain that’s far from my usual choice. The pictures looked appealing, but they were a far cry from reality. While the front desk attendant was genuinely warm and welcoming, the room was only passable with its basic amenities, marred by a musty odor. The bathroom left much to be desired—there was hair in the shower and sink, and I had to rely on my own Lysol wipes and spray to feel any sense of cleanliness. The bed was uncomfortable, and the blanket clearly hadn’t been washed properly; I was lucky to have an extra one in the car. Even the door lock handle was loose, which made me uneasy, though I managed a makeshift fix with a hanger. Since it was just an overnight stay, I managed to get through it, but I won’t be straying from my trusted hotel chains again. Comfort Inn used to be reliable, but they’ve really fallen off lately. To top it all off, the offered breakfast was unappetizing.
