Winthrop Inn

The shower never worked during our stay, and the rooms were dirty, dingy, and very dated. We tried to sort out the problems with the owners, but communication stopped after we asked for a refund because we couldn't shower. I wouldn't recommend staying here if you can avoid it. Look elsewhere.

A bug was crawling right on the bed. I couldn't tell whether it was a bedbug or something similar, but that was enough for me. The floor was also disgusting, sticky and crusty in places with odd red and brown stains, and something that looked like it might still be alive. I felt uncomfortable taking my shoes off. In the bathroom, black mold covered corners and grout, with a heavy damp, mildew, and rotten smell. I wouldn't step into the shower without sandals, and even that felt risky. I complained at the front desk. The person there barely acknowledged me, didn't seem surprised, and said there were no other rooms and no refunds. No apology or solution, just a shrug. The place felt filthy, unsafe, and uncared for. I usually don't leave reviews, but this was beyond horrible and people should be warned. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. If you care about your health and sanity, stay far away.

The friendly front desk clerk was a bright spot. The room did the job for one night, but at $250 a night it was lacking: no TV remote, very cheap bedding, and extremely small bath towels. It definitely felt like a two-star stay. I've paid less and stayed in much better hotels, so I wouldn't pay that much to return.

The property looked poorly maintained outside, and the rooms weren't being cleaned properly. We arrived at 6 pm with friends and had booked three rooms. Two were dirty from the previous guests. One hadn't been serviced at all, with used towels and linens and trash everywhere. The front desk presented my room as clean, but there was a dirty towel by the sink and trash in both bins. The beds looked like they might have used linens. I asked the desk to clean my room while we went to eat. When we got back, two bulbs were out, one in the bathroom and one above the sink, and water was leaking from the ceiling. The sink barely drained. No one was at the front desk, and nobody answered the phone that evening or at checkout the next morning. In daylight, the floor was clearly very dirty, and it seemed the room hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The mattress cover was stained where water had dripped, and that side of the bed was wet. There was a ceiling stain too, so the leak had likely been happening for a while. It seemed like the cleaning staff had quit a few weeks earlier. Avoid this place!
