When traveling from Florida to Maine with a pet and just want a place to lay your head, choose a different hotel, perhaps even a different town. not knowing how long we would want to drive before resting, we hadn't made reservations in advance. we went into the lobby, it didn't look bad. There was something strange happening, where a person in line carrying a reusable shopping bag, kept being asked to go to the back of the line and wait. It was a down pour outside so I wondered if maybe they provide special rates for the unhoused. Also, there was a young girl in front of us who was apologing because she was back again needing another towel and pillow. Patel who is an adult, said no problem, I like to see you.....it gave me creepy vibes immediately. Once it was our turn, We had found a better rate online, so the person checking us in Patel, asked us to book it online. While, we were doing that, he took a call on speaker about someone wanting to use his credit card machine...it was very strange. Since he was taking that call and dealing with checking us in, he basically threw a key at us and said 108. I have no idea if there was wifi, he didn't ask us if we needed extra keys, just gave us the plastic key card and sent us on our way. As I mentioned, it was a down pour, so we grab our things, run inside the room. At first glance, it wasn't terrible....it was once we started looking around, that we knew we had made a mistake.We could smell smoke in the non smoking room, and the scent was coming from the bed. My partner pulled back the blankets....I had already noticed a stain on the top one...once he pulled them back, it was clear that the bedding was not clean. Hair, dirt, what looked like ashes.... it was gross! My partner called the front desk, the said they would send someone asap. The person who arrived just handed my partner new sheets and left, no pillow cases nothing else. We go to put the sheets on...they are for a queen.....2nd call...same person shows up, they never spoke either time, hands him a king top sheet, nothing more...we explain that we need a king fitted sheet too and at the very least a blanket....they leave...this time they come back with Patel who tells us that we have everything we need with just the top sheet..uhhh don't think so, explain about the fitted sheet, need the top blanket- he says he can do the fitted sheet but might be out of blankets....!!!! They leave, the original non speaking person returns with a king fitted sheet and a blanket with burn holes all through it. At this point it's 8:30pm, we gave up. The bathroom was also dirty, towels are thin thin and the breakfast in the morning consists of powdered eggs and toast. I should have taken a nap in a walmart parking lot and kept driving!
