Worst Hotels you stay in?

[Burt Gutherie]

I second the Ramada PHL.

Holiday Inn Crabtree in RDU... Wallpaper falling off the walls, and no hot water! That place sucks

If there's one thing I can't stand about a hotel it's odors in the room. Every damn room in that place smells damp and moldy. Kinda like they just cleaned the carpets, but it never gets better over time.

Worst: Clarion, Sioux City, IA (unless you're lucky to get a room on floor 6, which has the nicest beds, nice pillows, but then with my company it's a standup)

Best Hotel: Broadview Inn, Wichita, KS.

The PHL Ramada, nice, very nice!!!
also SWF Ramada, ROC Holiday, ELM Econolodge.

You at least have the opportunity to make 20 friends with pissed off passengers durring the van ride.

Well, at least some problems are consistent:

Holiday Inn at PHL...the one right next to the Denny's.

Clarion @ LGA: used to be a parking garage, so
hallways have extreme slopes

Whatever the heck their calling the hotel at HPN all the regional crews get stuck overnighting at....

 

[Occam's Razor]

Not there any more, but:

1. Ramada - Newark Airport. We complained about it for months. Our hotel Committee Chairman (Bob M.) finally convinced a senior VP to inspect it with him (on his way to the Annual Shareholders meeting). As they entered the lobby, custodians were scrubbing the blood stains from the floor...remnants of the knife fight a few hours earlier.

We were gone that afternoon.

2. International Inn - Bismarck. They managed to squeeze my crew in for a nice long layover...even though they were hosting a ferret breeders convention. There was no place to escape the pungent stench ferret pheromones, the lusty screeches of ferrets having sex, or the goofy laughter of their owners. "Go fer it, Timone!...Git some, boy!"

The Hilton in Kingston Jamaica. Hands down the worst hotel in the world!!!!!!!!! A true dump.

 

[generaltso]

Any hotel in EWR

In White Plains with Pinnacle they used to send us to the absolute worst dump of a Holiday Inn in Terrytown, about a 30 minute drive away.

With AirTran, it was the Hyatt that was nice, but nowhere near anything for food and VERY pricey hotel food and bar.

Just got through staying there with Kalitta. I get to pick my own hotels. Try to stay in a reasonable price range and usually stay well under $100 a night, but was in HPN for two nights this weekend and was at the Crown Plaza.

LOVED IT!! Cheesecake Factory, Morton's Steakhouse, P.F. Changs, and Outbacks all within 100 yards of the hotel, plus the mall, movie theater 5 blocks away,,, Can't beat it!

NetJets usually stays at the Crowne Plaza as well; I'm generally very satisfied with it. I particularly like that the ice machines are on the other side of the elevators from the rooms, so I don't have to hear 'em. And a good location, I agree!

Clarion, Quality, and sadly these days Holiday Inns.

 

[Benhuntn]

The green slime hotel in Addiss Ababa Three roaches working together could carry a grown man away and feed him to the mosquitos.

 

[AutoBus]

Since nobody's been real specific here I'll start:

St. Tropez (Las Vegas). Hands down the scuzziest joint I've ever been in.

I second that

Not true the Marriott is very nice and in walking distance

lear how in the world do you stay at a quality hotel for under 100 bucks a night?

taxes these days are starting to be like rental car insurance. Sure the rate is 120 but there is another 30 dollars in taxes......

Can't in New York of course, but there's almost always a Hilton Garden Inn or a Marriott or a Sheraton 4 Points or something in most towns and the counter girls are always very helpful as long as you're nice to them...

Worst case scenario, a Hampton Inn is always close by and they're pretty decent. My hotel bill average from the last 2 weeks was about $90 a night including tax.

I'm a cheap bastard, but I like good hotels...

 

[RP170]

My vote is for the Comfort Inn at DTW when I worked at RAH. Bullet holes in windows, doors without deadbolts, jacuzzis in the room, etc.

What a world of difference in the quality of hotels we stay at since I began working at NetJets.
