Jennifer Hughey Review of Sheraton Gunter Hotel
Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I would give less...
Worst hotel I've ever stayed in. I would give less stars if possible. I booked on priceline and thought I was getting a decent deal. What wasn't mentioned online is that they nickle and dime you once you've paid for the hotel and driven across the state to stay. For starters, there is a $32 REQUIRED valet parking fee. I could understand the rediculous fee if it were optional, but for it to be required without ever mentioning that in advance seems unfair. Then there's the ADDITIONAL $50 fee for incidentals, which also wasn't mentioned. So that brings the total to double what was originally planned for. Nice. But what are the incidentals for? A mini bar? A robe or missing towels? Nope. That fee is to cover the $2 water (left on the desk), the $1.50 fee for LOCAL calls (who still charges for local calls?!), and the daily charge for internet (which was represented as included when I reserved.)
Now the price gouging wouldnt be so terrible if it were for a truly nice hotel. But I've stayed in a nicer motel 6! For starters, no fridge. Ok, I get that, the discription didn't specify that, so that was understandable. After all, I can just go to the ice machine on my floor and get some ice to make my drinks cold, right? Wrong!! The ice machine is broken. Ok, then I'll just go down to the lobby and get a drink from the advertised "Starbucks". Wrong again. It's apparently not a real Starbucks and only offers limited options. Oh, but dont worry, you're welcome to walk across the street, in the freezing rain, to go to the real Starbucks.
Aside from the ice machine being broken, no fridge and being charged double, you better hope there's no fire in your room, because the smoke alarm is hanging by wires.
So basically, don't touch anything or you'll be charged, dont use the internet or phone, dont expect to eat or drink anything, and don't bother trying to sleep (because in the event of a fire, you'll die). Nice! Should have stayed at the motel 6!
