La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Savannah Midtown

We didn’t feel safe here, so we stayed elsewhere for the second night even though we’d booked the weekend. The place seemed sketchy and dirty, with roaches, bad smells, dirty sheets, and a disgusting bathroom. They also charged me an extra $50 for my dog because she wasn’t identified as a service or emotional support animal. They don’t have to be identified, that’s the law, and a doctor’s note should be enough. I’d give it zero stars if I could.

The beds were clean, though one was firm and the other much too soft. The AC worked great, but the room smelled odd and the carpet was dirty. Everything was unplugged when we came in, and the walls and doors need wiping down. The bathroom door wouldn’t click shut, so it stayed ajar.

We had to switch rooms after finding a leak under the first room’s sink, with the water shut off so it couldn’t be used. The next room had an ongoing fridge leak. The carpet around it was soaked, the nearby dresser was deteriorating from the moisture, and mold had built up behind it. I told the maintenance man, but he wouldn’t even look behind the dresser and never returned to fix it. The front desk didn’t seem to care either. The rooms we were assigned were disgusting and kept having problems. It seems the people running the place don’t care about keeping them suitable for guests. They shouldn’t charge what they do for rooms in that condition.

We arrived late Friday, exhausted, and were first put in room 232. The carpet was stained throughout, the tub was black, and there was a grey ring in the toilet bowl. I saw blood spatter on the wall near the floor and drops of blood in the carpet by the closet. There were white splatters beside every lamp light switch, and the switch near the front door didn’t turn on any lights. After we reported this, the front desk moved us to room 222. It was a little cleaner, with a tub that wasn’t black, but the carpet was still badly stained and the AC didn’t work. They moved us again to room 206, which was as bad as the first: black tub and stained carpet. We had our toddler with us and didn’t feel comfortable staying here. The next day, we drove past and saw a mattress from one of the rooms laid against the outside wall, covered in blood. I’d never recommend this hotel.
