Crisis, this is hilarious! I was scoping out TripAdvisor now and saw a banner for the 2010 Dirtiest Hotels and clicked on the list. There is a place called Heritage Marina Hotel in San Francisco, and check this:
“Like out of a horror film; This is the hotel you stay at before you get killed!”

This is the dirtiest and most disgusting hotel I have ever seen!!! As soon as we walked into the room, I felt like I was breathing “dirty” air, it was hot and muggy in the room. The room smelled, and everything just looked dirty. There was a little box on the wall that looked like an AC control, we couldn’t figure out how to turn on and work the box, so we called the front desk. They told us there was no AC and to just turn on the ceiling fan or open a window. When we opened the window, there was no screen and a balcony outside, the balcony led to the window of the other room, so since there was no screen, the person in the other room could easily walk onto the balcony and come into our room. The door wouldn’t close properly, the bed felt wet, there were many homeless and meth/cracked out looking people hanging out in the rooms and the hallways. I honestly felt very unsafe, I felt like I could possibly get killed staying in this hotel. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER stay at this hotel again or recommend it to anyone!!!!!
Good grief! I mean that’s quite dramatic, but awesome nonetheless. I’m always intrigued by the seedier side of life and would just like to take a walk through there. Buy some crack from a kid living in a trash can or something. Be attacked by a crystal meth baby. Holiday fun! I loved the ‘meth/cracked out people’ comment, awesome! If you’re a hotel on that list, there’s a good chance business is not going well. Well accommodation anyway.
The chances are that those places are just crack dens running under hotel names.
Oh and if you’re in Cape Town, I’d also avoid The Ritz Hotel. Trust me, it’s got nothing in common with The Ritz in London.
