When I booked this hotel, I was expecting a quality at least that of a Econolodge or Motel 6. I could not have been more wrong. On check-in, the staff could not find my Travelocity reservation, and I ended up having to pay more for the room with one less bed. The staff then requested a cash key deposit, as they still use real keys. This caught me off guard, as I do not usually carry cash. Fortunately I was able to work this out with the staff member on duty. Upon entering the room, it was obvious that housekeeping was lax in their duties. In addition to hairs and soap bubbles on the bathroom wall, there was a used washcloth still hanging over the shower curtain rack. In the actual room, there were dust bunnies all over the place, and a ladies earring was found by the bed. Fortunately, we had a phone charger with multiple ports, as there was only one electrical outlet available in the whole room. There was a wired smoke detector in the sink area, but it had been dislodged from its base, with wiring exposed. The power indicator light was off. I didn't test it, but from years of fire inspection experience, I'm pretty sure it didn't work. I will be avoiding this hotel the next time I'm in Hammond.
