I'm pretty sure Patrick Henry's first draft said, "Give me liberty, or give me a stay at the Lafayette Days Inn!"
We got stuck in the elevator. I called and asked multiple times if they could get us out but they kept asking for my email address so they can add me to the rewards program. When I was finally able to get to the front desk, the guy said that sometimes the elevator stops, but they can restart it with the circuit breaker and if that doesn't work, they can call the fire department. He assured me that this is "normal."
Since we obviously used the stairs for the rest of our stay, we parked near the side doors and discovered that none of them close all the way. One of the other rooms on our floor had a chunk of wood broken off the outside of its door.
The shower head was the same exact one I had in my house...30 years ago, and it clearly had never been cleaned. The toilet randomly flushed on its own, and there was hair all over the bathroom floor. The towels had brown stains on them. The 80-grit wash cloths could come in handy if they cared to fix the big hole in the drywall that was obviously caused by the bathroom door handle.
I joked that breakfast will probably be liquid or powdered eggs, but even that proved to be an unrealistically high expectation. There were no eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, bagels, toast, muffins, etc. There was sliced bread and cereal.
I'm sure there is a lot more that we didn't discover during our short stay, this place is bad.
