I have been a very good customer of this hotel staying maybe eighty nights during the past ten months. I've put up with broken chairs at the desks in rooms and cushions on the couch so beat up that the fold-out bed mechanism in the sofa couldn't be covered up. But the last couple of visits have been particularly bad. Towels have been placed in the bathroom for use by customers that had big black stains on them. Nothing like reaching for a towel after a shower and seeing a big black mark on it as it nears your face! Had they been laundered? I can't say. But clearly stained towels need to be thrown away and not reused. Then last night I get put into a room without a working shower! Didn't notice it until this morning when I started getting ready for a board meeting. The shower handle was plainly just hanging there unconnected to the valve in the wall! Didn't the attendant that made up the room notice this? The shower curtain had been nicely tucked away around a grab bar but she didn't see the broken control handle? How was the shower cleaned when water couldn't be turned on?? I'm sorry, this hotel isn't giving rooms away. Selling accommodations at well over $100/night should be revenue enough to guarantee a clean room with working plumbing. It would have been very convenient for me to continue staying here the next couple of years. However, I've had it with such lousy conditions and will find someplace else even if it means driving a further distance from the area. Nuts to the Best Western of Hiawatha!
