This was a last minute booking and the reviews were good. This place did nit live up to the reviews. The desk clerk at check in was rude. I booked a smoke free room but I could smell some coming through the vents in the bathroom. The faucets in the bathroom had not been run for a while, as the water had a yellow tent.

This was the nastiest and unsanitary hotel I’ve ever seen in my life. There was feces on the wall in the bathroom on the door here in the bathtub on the sink dirt in the bathroom floor like it’s not been swept in months blood drops on the floor, Fishies on the blanket and it looked like blood as well. The towels were there and brown with stains on them, the ceiling had holes in it and watermarks as if it had a leak the refrigerator was leaking water almost caused me to slip. The bed was very uncomfortable. The mattress was just old and had stains on it. The room smelt horrible. It was very dusty and nothing was updated at all the elevator smelt disgusting people stayed up all night long party and drinking , and possibly doing drugs never stay at the FairBridge Inn.

The property was easy to find and was affordable for our party of 9. The bathroom stunk of urine and the bed sheets had a stain on it. The tv remote was missing a battery so when I went to get a battery, found out the battery did not fit, so I was given a replacement remote that did not work. Overall, if you just need an affordable place to stay for the night, it will do, however they can do better on cleanliness.

I had no issue finding a parking place right outside the main entrance. The desk clerk didn't exude friendliness and was difficult to understand due to having a heavy accent. He also spoke quickly and softly so it was hard to understand what he was saying. He didn't mention that the WiFi password on the jacket of my passkey at time of check in (I came back to the desk to ask, then he told me). On the upside, the clerk quickly accommodated my request to move rooms once I discovered the first room smelled of stale cigarette smoke and the bathroom looked rather gross. The second room was fine. I like that the room had a mini fridge (wasn't mentioned in the posting). The air conditioning worked well and easily adjustable. The common areas had an odd smell that I couldn't quite place. This is definitely a budget operation but the lower cost made it manageable.

Bed bugs

I checked in and it definitely did not look like the pictures. Although the bathroom is clean, it was smaller than a closet. They were four hangers. And they were barely hanging on. There was a dog across the hall that barked for hours on end. The front desk was notified and they asked if I could wait to go to bed until the owner returned. Not only did I finally get 45 minutes of sleep, I was awakened with itching. I began to put the sheets off and the bed mattress had bedbugs. I video recorded it and took it to the office, he only offered an alternative room. At this time I made him aware that I was not willing to trade one bug infested wrong with another. I was there for a funeral and slept in my car for the night. The room was not compensated and I was only told to contact corporate. I absolutely will not be staying another one of these hotels.

Expressed to attendant to change room, was denied. He said he would fix light in morning and replace sheets, towels with clean ones. The next evening the light still not fixed, the towels and face cloths I had on the floor were folded and placed back on counter with the stains still there. The bed was made, no sheet change, the stains still same area. Truly the worse hotel experience I ever had. Get what you pay, the rates were still over a hundred a night.

POSITIVES: good front desk staff, sometimes harried by being alone at busy times. Bed, pillows comfortable. Linens clean, fresh smelling. AC working well. New floor vinyl seemed clean (not a dirty rug). Largely quiet except for inconsiderate guests in hall. NEGATIVES: bath full of fleas/small flies. Hair on floor. Human waste at base of toilet. Need vacuuming and not just wet mopping; both needed; down on hands and knees wiping needed. No wash cloths. No housekeeping during 2 day stay. Walls, woodwork need replacement, updating. Common areas (entrance, halls, elevator) desperately need rehabilitation. Attention needed to key card activation as card failed on 2nd nights. Somewhat difficult to access from highways/streets. Not pleasantly walkable area due to heavy traffic on streets. Public bus present but not easy to access on foot. An old facility run down in need of investment in repair, renovation, improvement . . . but that would cost guests more to finance.
