The Fountain Inn

The location is great, the A/C worked well, and the $25 voucher we used at the Patio got us a delicious meal. That's about all the good I can say. The building is old, which I can appreciate, but this felt disgusting, not charming or quirky. We won't be back. We came as four women for a calm bachelorette weekend and were excited by the decent reviews. A week before, we called to check whether our reservation included the gate fee. Cole told us it did for our room type, and three of us heard him. At the entrance, we were shocked to find we had to pay $80 per person plus $40 for parking. Then we spent two hours trying to find a parking spot we'd already paid $40 for. We drove around one-way streets and in circles for 30 minutes, then asked a worker for help. We were told to park across the street, but there was no parking there. Eventually someone left and we got their space. By the time we unloaded and settled into the room it was 7 p.m., and a day had gone to waste after we'd paid $40 each at the gate. The condition of the hotel was awful. There were piles of dirt in the hall that housekeeping walked past repeatedly; they were still there at checkout two nights later. When our key failed, the man from downstairs walked right over the dirt pile and ignored it. I counted seven bugs in my twin bed alone, the kind you'd expect dead on an old windowsill. The floors were stained, the trash hadn't been emptied, and the previous guests' bachelorette plates were still in it. The tiny bathroom was gross, there was no shower curtain, and the shower was so cramped we had to stand partly outside it to wash. The bathroom stayed flooded for hours after a shower, and the linens smelled so bad I struggled to sleep. Coming back after a fun day to feel uncomfortable and worry about bugs in bed was miserable. If you're claustrophobic, the elevator is a nightmare too, since it's extremely slow. They did offer to move us, but the beds in the other room wouldn't fit our group. Given the state of the building and the cleaning staff walking past the huge pile of dirt near our room, we didn't think another room would be any better.
