Booked the Days Inn in Harvey through Orbitz while attending a convention in New Orleans. It was cheap but what a mistake! Had booked a non-smoking room but the room just stank of smoke. OK, no big deal.
But when I opened the bed the sheets were DIRTY! OK, perhaps an honest mistake. Went to the front desk, got keys for a different room. No smoke stink but THE SHEETS WERE DIRTY AGAIN! I asked if this was a joke or what. I would have been out of there usually but it was past midnight and I had just flown in so I gave them a third chance. I was surely willing to make my own bed if I could finally get some shut-eye and I asked the front desk for clean sheets. They said they didn't have any but there would be a spare set in the room. OK, went to room #3, checked the sheets in the bed (DIRTY!) and then the spare set -- DIRTY!! The spare set had actually some gooey red stuff in them (blood with something??). I took it to the front desk and invited them to touch the red stuff but they prudentlfy declined my offer.

At that point I bailed. They actually had the gall to refuse returning me the blank credit card slip! I just asked for the phone to call American Express and let them know about it, and voila! no problem, they gave me the form and let me tear it up.

Was lucky to find a room in a Holiday Inn not far away. What a nightmare!
