Worst Hotels??

[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

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!!

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.

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.

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...

The Holiday Inn Evansville.

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.

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.

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.

As for a Lakes Hotel.......Right up there in the race has to be the Super 8 in RKS.. I have seen the photos one of our crew member had of Boogers....yes Boogers smeared on the wall. Also one of our crew members stepped in a wet spot that was puke cleverly hidden by the good old puke powder...

Ramada Inn Burbank....

All AMF'ers know...Nuff said.

TBN= Fort Lost in the Woods! That motel 6 was the worse.
PAH= Outside doors at the Pear Tree Inn 2nd floor at the very back on the Hotel!

Lakes-

The Grizzly Inn (aka The Griz) ALS, Alamosa, CO. I was paired up with another captain who had to make a trip to the hospital after we stayed there??

Good ole, real life bed-bugs! Ate him up!

I can't believe that. That is HORRIBLE!!

Lakes-

I believe it was/is the Best Western, GCK, Garden City Kansas. The front desk would yell at you for trying to eat the breakfast. The air in that town smelled like poo. If the air was blowing the right way it smelled ok until you opened the door to your hot hotel room. The room did a fine job of soaking up that smell and preserving it in a nice 90 degree environment. I once checked in with someone who started heaving at the door when we opened our rooms up. Also had a very smart FO show me all the tricks to make the room survivable. Here was her routine.

Put the Ice bag on the remote
Put one towel on the floor in the shower, another towel on the floor outside the shower.
She had her own way of turning down the sheets and sleeping cleanly.
Always wore sandals in the room.
And there were even more good tips! She had it down to a science!

But the free city zoo was just down the street! Watch out for Rhino urine!

Are you serious? Did you guys really stay at a Motel 6 at Regions? That's sad if it's true but kind of funny.

 

[mamba20]

CAK, I've waited over an hour and a half for the the van. Contract says we get a cab after 30 mins. Trouble is, no cab service in the town. Waiting for the van at the Not So Quality Inn is routine.

The Clarion at IAH. . . . Dont go outside at night and be ready to run your shower for a good 30 mins int he morning to make it even luke warm.

 

[Smacktard]

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.

The Hilton Park-n-Ride sux but what really gets me about the place is the door into your room. Ever noticed that they open towards the hallway, I feel like I'm walking into my closet.

 

[bearcat]

WOW this could go on for days. Rime Garden in BHM. There was a dead roach inside my alarm clock, lipstick on the sheets, blah blah blah. The deceased insect in the clock was a classic.
