Call me old-fashioned but something about checking into a hotel at night with no human contact felt scary.
Besides that, the room was very clean, neat and cold, not just in temperature but also atmosphere. Very stark. No art at all. Bare floor with two metal framed chairs for a sitting area. Small fridge provided with a handle that came right off in my hand. AC was really going strong. When I tried to adjust it, the remote on the wall fell out and landed on the floor. Luckily, that didn't break. Duct tape on the sides to make it fit into the holder, I guess?
Bathroom soap was damp and the soap itself was a bit mushy. I assumed it had just gotten something dripped on it. Went ahead and used it thinking it was soap, after all.
Was shocked to have an extra $100 tacked onto my prepaid hotel cost. Expedia promptly got to the bottom of it. They charge $100 for a deposit and return it if all is well. I got my refund in a few days. Still, a hotel room cleaning deposit???
