Some pro and cons.
PRO: 1) Great water pressure; 2) somewhat new thermo-pane double-glazed windows; 3) decent coffee in the lobby.
CON: 1) The guest registration form required me to acknowledge that I had fifteen minutes to inspect the room but the clerk told me I only had five minutes. That disparity should have resonated more alarm-like in my head; details are important. I did run into the room, tear-off the bedspread and sheets to search for tell-tale signs of infestation, which revealed no critters but showcased some seriously wrinkled sheets, which had been laundered after the last guest but obviously had not been folded after cooling under the pressing weight of an industrial-sized load of linens. Details matter.
2) It has been some time since the hotel has had a much needed deep cleaning. The doors and painted surfaces felt tacky. The bathroom exhaust fan was growing a dangling mass of Spanish moss-like dust and condensation. The Ivory-colored plumbing fixtures camouflaged many things but could not conceal the long overdue introduction of a stiff bristled toilet brush. The window still sported the manufacturer’s paper labels and a multitude of fingerprints. Cockroaches.
3) There are problems that are neither remedied nor disguised with another thick coat of glossy paint: excessive space under doors; inoperable chain security locks; rotted exterior wood trim.
I should have better invested the 5 or 15 minutes allotted at check-in to go elsewhere.
