The worker didn’t answer the bell. We stood out in 20 degree weather waiting for him to answer the phone. The bathroom door came apart, the bathroom floor was filthy, there was blood on the wall, the counter top was filthy, the towel bar was coming off the wall, even the shampoo bottle was dirty! It was the worst hotel room I’ve even been in!
