I’ve traveled extensively—over 90 countries—and this was, without question, the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. Not just because of the issue itself, but because of how management handled it: with complete disregard, as if guests are disposable. When I checked in at 2:00 a.m., I walked into a room with a broken sewage pipe in the bathroom. The smell was overpowering. The bellboy clearly knew something was wrong—he opened the patio doors and handed me an aerosol spray to mask the stench. That was their solution: cover it up and hope I wouldn't complain. By 6:30 a.m., I was in the hotel lobby, exhausted and disgusted. I was told no new room would be available until noon. Then, magically, two hours later, a room “became available.” That room was likely empty the whole time—they just didn’t care. I asked the front desk and later ******* to at least comp the night. The hotel’s response? A flat “no.” No apology. No empathy. No attempt to make it right. This place is clearly a profit machine for the owner, who seems to know that in high season, tourists are just numbers. They’ll churn through new guests tomorrow, so why bother solving problems today? It’s a volume game for them—pack them in, take the money, move on. Bottom line: this is not hospitality—it’s exploitation. There are many places to stay, even in peak season. Do yourself a favor and choose a hotel where the owner and management actually cares.
