Ramada Laurel Inn

This place is now known as «Garden Inn». Not only did they have a terrible receptionist, it was a terrible place.
I get it, you get what you paid for but this is beyond horrible. I can’t exaggerate that anymore. Just horrible! Before even getting to the room, you could smell smoke and urination emanating from everywhere. I didn’t even want to touch anything all the way to the second floor.
The room was even less than impressive. The curtain had brown stains on it like somebody wiped their ass with it. The two chairs in there had dark brown stains on it too. The bathroom looked like it wasn’t cleaned since the 20^th century. Don’t even get me started on the toilet paper which was half used and it looked like it got wet at some point.
This is the worst place I have ever been in. Where are the cleaning people? Please go to another hotel.

i am giving the place 3 stars due to the fact that it was only 43 $. based on the reviews that i read i was expecting utter horror. it was only eh. they were fast and courteous when we checked in at 12:30 am. the room was rather threadbare but the fridege and microwave worked and were clean. the beds did Not have bedbugs (we were going to leave of course if this were the case). of course due to the paranoia that they would be there we all had phantom bugs all night long.
the sheets and comforter (if you can call it that, it wasn’t very comfy but it was a top cover) were clean. the rug a bit stained but only in that it was obviously old, it didn’t feel dirty or smell like some of those Truly scary places on the way to florida that you find for 29.99 a night (shudder. i don’t even want to think about the one that had actually squishy floors)
the bathroom was perfectly clean, the water was hot and the pressure good. they only had shampoo of course and no conditioner or lotion but again did i mention that when we were looking for a place to stay for the rally to restore sanity 2 nights before the rally and it was either 43 or 369…
all in all it wasn’t the worst hotel i have stayed in and wasn’t nearly as bad as the other reviews that i read here or in other locations but perhaps we got the only OK room?
if i was in a bind again i would stay here but i would bring my own towels and perhaps a fitted bottom sheet.

If you want filth and horrible service, COME HERE.
They’ve changed their name several times and do not list a phone number on any website! Long story short, when I asked them if I can get the free shuttle from BWI (which they lied, there is none) I couldn’t because of the phone number. I finally got a phone number and when I called asking if this was the Northeast Garden Inn, the receptionist was like, «Ummm…no» hello people, you need to be aware of hotel name changes!
The room was absolutely disgusting. This is the kind of place I’d expect a child molester to live in. It had a foul smelling human flesh smell that I never got used to. The bathroom was not cleaned; and there was food still in the microwave and fridge. Hair everywhere, shower tub clogged, no soap handle. I didn’t even use the towels because I seriously thought I would get an STD. Both desks were filthy and the lamps and outlets didn’t work. One of the beds smelled like old piss. It overshadowed the fact that the beds were hard. I didn’t sleep that night. The alarm didn’t work, but as you can tell, that wasn’t the big issue.
I ended up checking out less than 12 hours after my stay! It was just abhorrent beyond belief. It didn’t help that the receptionist referred me to a taxi cab that seriously could’ve killed me. The cab driver was in all seriousness psychotic. No sir, you weren’t on Oprah nine times and no you didn’t meet Muhummad Ali etc– and why on earth are you driving a cab when yesterday you were in the ER???
In hindsight, I should’ve demanded a different room, but hey, I was young and didn’t know any better. However, this shouldn’t be an issue at all. I didn’t pay much for it ($ 46) but it’s still money I need and could’ve used for other more deserving things/​services. The level of grossness I experienced was an atrocity of the highest order and should’ve never happened in the first place. I would’ve gladly paid an extra $ 100 at the other hotel or bummed at BWI… If Tom Hanks could do it in The Terminal, so can I damnit.
