Michael Bando Review of Grand Palms Resort

I book hotels using Concur and my regular hotel was booked. I travel to Pembroke Pines for work at least once per month. Since I had never stayed there I looked at the room pictures and went "this looks nice". I have a suite and figured it would be the suites in the pictures. Absolutely not. My suite looks nothing like the pictures. The furniture looks like it's from the 50s. The living room TV is a 19" (from what it looks like). The beds looks they are the most craptastic mattresses on the planet. I think they are boards covered with cloth. The room just feels dirty. Is it or not you don't really know. I do know all the bathroom fixtures are terrible and rusted. The shower has to be 20 years old. The TV remote was covered in something. I cleaned it before use.
The desk (if you can call it that), night stand, lamp and clock have so much dust on them it's pretty gross.
I am not a smoker but I could feel my skin drying out from smoke. Then I smelled my arm and smelled like smoke by morning. If all my clothes smell like smoke I will be really upset. This is so bad I am going to check out early and sleep in my rental car if needed.
The word resort doesn't really apply to this place and I definitely don't recommend staying in the hotel/motel.
Each year, I spend about 200 days in hotels and this is the 2nd to worst place I have stayed. My company gives me a $160 budget and for $127 (upgraded room) I figured it would at least be the same quality as a candlewood or residence inn but it's far worse.
Its terrible and Pembroke Pines is a nice area and this place is run down so much they might as well tear it down and just have a golf club.
