Our experience at the Dominion Inn & Suites was truly awful. It was very difficult to locate the…read moreproperty because it has no sign, and the branding on the sides of the building is blacked out with spray paint. There were very few cars in the lot, and there was no exterior lighting. Looking around, there were relics of it having been a Rodeway Inn and a Holiday Inn.
The property is extremely worn and in disrepair. The reviews that I read have to have been fabricated because there is no way possible that people would not see what I saw.
There is an elevator, despite the details saying there isn't one. However, it was falling apart, and we were greeted by some type of vomit or other bodily fluid in it twice.
Our room should be condemned. The lock was broken off the door. However, the damage to the bathroom door informed us that it could be used to barricade the hall door and prevent it from opening, giving the illusion that it was secured.
There was what appeared to be blood spatter on the lampshade and the wall behind it. There was filth on every wall surface, and a heavy layer of dust everywhere.
Even though we had to register that there were 4 of us, there was only one completely flat pillow per bed, only 2 towels, and zero toilet paper provided. With much pushback from the front desk, we did obtain toilet paper, and one more pillow, but could never get a 4th pillow or additional towels.
The toilet would not function, and management's response was to "jiggle the handle". It didn't help because the tank wouldn't hold water, so we had to dump water in the tank to flush manually. We left the lid off when we left the room, and it was replaced when we returned, so we know they at least came to look at the non-functioning toilet while we were out!
The carpet was so wrinkled it was a trip hazard, and the carpet baseboard was falling off. There were cigarette burns completely through the bedspreads. The TV was broken, and the signal dropped in and out rapidly making it impossible to watch.
We had prepaid for a 2-night stay, and when we looked around and decided that we should leave, we were greeted by a sign at the front desk letting us know that no refunds would be given after 15 minutes. The desk was unattended, so my calls to the contact number began at 14 minutes. But, it was sent to voicemail, and it took several more calls over several more minutes for them to answer, and we were stuck. With no hope of a refund, and nowhere else to go, against our better judgment, we stayed.
There was a sign restricting guests to a maximum 13-day stay, so I suspect that this is used as more of a low-cost residence than of any minimal level of a pleasure stay.
Please, don't make our mistake and stay here, keep looking!
