Not every hotel cares.

The hotel I’m staying at right now is dirty as fuck.

The valve for the shower does not operate properly, the water pressure is extremely low and it barely gets above 90F. Other rooms in the same hotel have a different valve and the showers work fine.

“We will send a maintenance person right away” it’s been a week.

There is old food under and behind my bed.

They empty trash in the hall once a week, it fills up in two days.

They advertise laundry but the driers are all out of order. Apparently the only reason is the change collection bucket is full, the owner doesn’t trust anyone but himself to empty it, but he’s two states away.

I can hear everything through all the walls around me. I can hear people fart.

This hotel has 4.5 stars with >2000 reviews.

An unclean room would be an instant nope for me. Ask for a refund or file a chargeback.

Sorry to hear that. Sister had an aneurysm a couple years ago. They coiled it, lasted two weeks, then gone. Best wishes for your father and your family.

Worst hotels I've ever stayed, in the whole world, were indeed in NYC.

Known chains I've stayed in there have generally been fine--but be prepared for fairly high prices and generally small rooms. Also, any sort of a view is very hit and miss given how close many tall buildings are to each other. I have had some very nice rooms but it's partly luck of the draw and partly someone else paying the tab.
