Worst Hotels??

[low-key]

i think we stay in some crap holes at CHQ, anyone else with some "gems" of the system??

 

[Captain X]

The LaQuinta in GRK (Ft. Hood/Killeen) in Texas is a real craphole!

 

[ArcticFlier]

The Empire House in PGA. That place was a hole.

GGG (longview tx) holiday inn is the worst I have ever stayed in anywhere in the country.

GGG (longview tx) holiday inn is the worst I have ever stayed in anywhere in the country.

If you could say that after staying at the Holiday Inn in Fresno, CA (FAT) I'd be impressed.......

 

[FreedomAList]

Sait Tropez in LAS (across the street from the Hard Rock Hotel)

Had a crew robbed at gunpoint right outside it a month or so ago.

Mesa, being Mesa, still keeps us there . . . .

 

[another cfii]

Of course for us pinch-nickelodeons, our most popular MEM Holiday-inn, where you always have to stand in line for an hour to wait for scheduling to send authorization so you can get 20 minutes of rest before you show up for your PT, where you always have to bring your own water, cuz who knows what the tap comes from, where you're never too far away from a gang shootout right outside the hotel.

Ahh, the fond memories...

PQI Inn

Where else are you going to stay??? The Northeastland isn't any better... At least you get 50% off food.. Prime Rib Friday and Saturday!!!!

 

[chperplt]

What's that crap hole in MHT that most crews stay at??

 

[CandlerWun]

How about the Atrium in Monroe, LA? It smells like the aftermath of a frat party in the elevator (i.e., spilled drinks), and the water tastes like metal.

The Tuller Hotel in downtown DTW. I swear to you, the lobby was something out of a Humphrey Bogart movie...hookers in the lobby..they had to be hookers ( with pimps in close proximity ). The desk clerk was a fat guy in a filthy white shirt with an excuse for a necktie loosely arranged around his neck. And, he had one eye that was absolutely freaking HUGE that bugged out of his face...and he wouldn't speak to us.

When we got to the microscopic rooms, the sheets had holes all over them. We got "walked" to this craphole from a hotel that wasn't much better to start with. Welcome to the non-sked business...glamour you can cut with a knife.

This was circa 1969...things may have changed at the Tuller Hotel since then. But, I doubt it.

The building in the back is the best. Oh yeah...

The Wayfarer?

I agree, though, La Quinta in GRK is really, really bad. I got out of bed one morning only to step right on a roach.

The Hilton STL Airport is pretty bad, too. The bus shows up and you're pushed out of the way by CHQ ground crews trying to get to their car. Only to have to stand in the back of the smelliest bus in the world. The staff is rude and so far, I'm 2 for 2 on cold showers in the morning without so much as an I'm sorry.

 

[chperplt]

The Wayfarer?

That's the one!

PHL Ramada Airport Inn: Straight outta the 70's and I guarantee it hasn't been cleaned since then.

Dayton Airport Inn: I hear things are better there but still overall nasty place

EWR Ramada: Don't forget your gat!

All of the above require the use of shoes and/or flip flops to prevent STDs (the bugs are soo mean they will crawl up ) and your feet turning the color of the carpet.

There are more but that is the short list for my company...the best of the best as they say.

I'm so proud to work at an airline that honors my contract when it comes to selecting hotels.

PQI?? isnt there a Best Western Convention Center there??? anyone ever been to a MHOP (Maine House of Pancakes) or a Mardens?? $4 jeans and $9 samsonite suitcases? anyone?

 

[chperplt]

No best western in PQI... The PQI inn has the convention center.

 

[User546]

Any Baymont Inn & Suites. What a wreched place.

 

[Sig]

PHL Ramada Airport Inn: Straight outta the 70's and I guarantee it hasn't been cleaned since then.

A-friggin'-men, dude. What a festering sore of a sharthole... but the Victoria Inn and Suites in AVP is by far and away the stickiest dukestain of a "hotel" ever. It's across from a truckstop, so a few enterprising truckers park their rigs in the holetel lot.

Nice. Gotta love the sound of a Mack growling away all night... times four or five.

The Whatevertheheck Inn in SUA (Newburgh, NY) is out of the Shining: all long hallways with about 8 flights of steps each way. It was built on the side of a hill, so the grade increases with each wing. Sweet. AND it's a dump.

 

[General Lee]

The Trump International in Manhattan, next to Central Park. There was only one butler per suite. Come on now! I also need a massage lady that always gives "happy endings...."


Bye Bye---General Lee

 

[jrav8tor]

The Clarion Inn (old Holiday Inn) in JAN is a real sh!thole!!! Can't believe there isn't a better hotel our committee could find for us. Shower is so disgusting you gotta put a towel down before you shower so you won't contract any diseases!!

 

[Ty Webb]

You guys need to develop some serious testicular fortitude. If you can't sleep in the scheisshole they put you in, then be honest and call out fatigued. How many fatigue calls will it take to change the hotel? Sounds like it's well overdue.

And for the guy knocking the MEM Holiday Inn, at least some enterprising FA's can make some extra cabbage by dancing next door- I'm pretty sure some of ours did. I hear the hotel has changed, not sure if the dancing had anything to do with it.

 

[NEDude]

Stayed in a few of the places mentioned here, and too many times at the Wayfarer in MHT. None, however, come close to the Airport Plaza Hotel in PIT. By far the worst hotel I have ever seen. Amazing such a place exists in a first world country.

 

[Serrano]

The red carpet inn in KMWA and the
Motel 6 in KTBN. The 6 is not so bad
as it is new, but there is no breakfast,
no shampoo, micro-thin towels like sand
paper (just like the buttwipe) and one
of our crews got mugged at gunpoint
walking back from Micky-D's one night...

 

[2yrs2go]

The Holiday Inn Evansville.

 

[SoCentralRain]

A Laker alumni needs to chime in here...

How about the Eagle Inn across the street from the old "terminal" at the CIU? Old Air Force barracks converted to a very memorable crew hotel. Dank hallways. Everything inside the rooms is some shade of brown and dusty. Cheery and restful. The KNOB (!) on the television. Threadbare sheets. And the "continental" breakfast consists of dirty white bread and margarine. (I don't want to visit that continent. Ever.) Coffee old enough to vote. Phones that don't dial out between 6 pm and 8 am. And a front desk manager who yells at you for taking the stairs two at a time (presumably to escape.)

Hungry? You can stop by the Kinross Co-Op for your dining and hardware needs. Local attractions? Not one but THREE prisons all within stones throw. That's entertainment.

Shuttle van out of this oasis of comfort and tranquility? Oh no. You'll be walking your sorry arses the two blocks back to the airport. Not that big a deal when the weather's nice, but this is the U.P. of Michigan. Try it in the predawn morning in January and they'll find your body when the snow melts in June.

Of course we are talking about Great Lakes here. Good times.

 

[AdSo81]

Current Great Lakes....The holiday inn in Clovis NM gives you ear plugs to dampen the noise from the railyard across the street. But, with those earplugs comes a great little brochure that informs you of the history of the rail road!

Isn't the Wayfarer in MHT supposed to be haunted? I understand it used to be an old mill way back in the day and there was a fire that killed the mill operator? I do agree, that place wasn't all that great. But, if I remember, the bar was kinda nice.

How about the Atrium in Monroe, LA? It smells like the aftermath of a frat party in the elevator (i.e., spilled drinks), and the water tastes like metal.

Josh M.

Amen, you got a second on that $hit hole. It was an outdoor motor lodge until they boxed it in with a construction company that must have been run out of the middle school gymnasium business. But they kept the window unit air conditioners so the noise and the 180 degree heat blast into the hallway.

Imagine a hotel with 300 APU's exhausting into the "Atrium" and you pretty much have the picture, except the exhaust smells like mold instead of jet A.

It is popular with the family reunion crowd and I don't think it is frat puke, I think it is partially digested Church's Fried Chicken. After all - the moldy 180 degree air does strange things to the digestive system, I can't imagine trying it with a belly full of greasy chicken.

The good news is that it is the only hotel where I can't wait for the alarm to go off at 04:30 to get the hell outta there. Delta should relocate their HQ to the Atrium at MLU, I can guarantee it would cut down on the number of redundant VP's they house at Virginia Ave.
