I guess everyone has a different definition of “clean.” The room is in a basement with a private side door entrance, but that’s where the good things stop. The entire room smelled musty. There is mildew in various corners. The shower has clearly not been cleaned in a while; there was soap scum and mildew around the drain. I wore flip flops into the shower because it was that gross. I brought my own towel, which was a good call because after finding that the room was far from clean, I was afraid to use the provided towels. Never have I needed to buy disinfectant wipes for lodging. I’ve been to cleaner motels, and that’s saying a lot. I opened the dresser to put my bags down and found the shelves to be covered in what appeared to be insect feces— cockroaches or crickets? Further exploration led to the discovery of some rat poison stashed near the kitchen area. I opened the fridge and almost threw up. It smelled and there were remnants of crumbs from past tenants. I liked the location and the host, but please just clean the unit a little bit more thoroughly!
