Great Staycation

Everything was good. It was nice staycation with a reasonable cost. My only complaints were the temperature was a little chilly it was freezing in the livingroom but comfortable in the bedroom The stove with the wall timer could use instruction I never saw that before Measuring cups might be a good addition These are minor concerns though I’d definitely stay again

Filthy carpet bad odor/unhealthy

First night coughed all night. The carpet in the room is filthy with what could very well be dog poop stains. The smell was very bad. Had to buy boxes of baking soda and sprayed my body spray to tolerate. Got very nauseous while staying there. Didn't want to lose money so tolerated. Had to go to front desk for toiletries. Shouldn't have to keep asking if the stay was for 5 nights. Noisy, from banging doors to guests over my head on the top floor. My allergies went bonkers. For $130/night, the carpet should be clean and room not filthy. Most hotels dont use rugs anymore because of health problems. Luckily allergy pills were packed. Carpet was so filthy, had to keep wiping the bottom of the shoes because they were so dirty and sticky from walking around the room! It was very bad!
The stain was everywhere:sticky and smelled like dog poop!
Open box of baking soda to help with the odor! Didn't help much

My only concern with this hotel is the lack of lobby staff in the afternoon / evening hours. We were able to come and go quite frequently without interacting with anyone. Perhaps the lobby was being monitored remotely but there was no sign to that effect. Also we seemed to have stayed at a very quiet time which may have been the reason

No issues with the front desk, it was just dirty, even the walls were nasty in the room. I walked in to a stained chair on the right side of the bed. I felt it was so dirty that we had to sleep with blankets from the car instead of the sheets. The worst part was the noise, we were at the corner of the building and all we continued to hear was the door slamming shut. I couldn’t sleep well, I complained on Expedia for at least a partial refund from the hotel due to the inconvenience of everything and it was denied because I didn’t make any complaints when I was there. First off, the hotel was completely booked per front desk. Second, I’m not trying to move all my belongings to another hotel and pay even more money on top of that so I wasn’t trying to complain while I was trying to just relax as I was out of town. Also, housekeeping only comes once a week (sketchy). What a bad way to start my experience of reading PA which was not a bad city at all.
