Blacklight necessary! Should have slept in the car

We unfortunately stayed in room 209. It was beyond disgusting. As we always do, we turn the sheets down to confirm they have been changed. The pubic and head hairs was clue one. Then the brown stains. Keep in mind, we paid over $250 to sleep here! The lady at the desk who was very friendly, but "was the only employee in the building," had to leave her post to change the bed. Moving onto the bathroom: the toilet is actively leaking, floor obviously has not been mopped, as there was a Bud light top, two dried up contacts and (used?) toilet paper behind the door. The toilet had diarrhea splash on it and 1/2 roll of paper. The shower had not been cleaned (hair and other "items"). The floor of the shower is all chipped up, which made it hard to stand. We used all of the towels to be able to use the bathroom. The TV did not operate properly but we didn't have a guide anyway. No breakfast served at that price! We will never stay at Candlewood Hotels again. Don't let the pretty building fool you. We are sorry to leave such a review, but changes need to be made here.

Uh oh!

You can tell the bathroom had not been swept. There was dirty towels wadded up on the floor in the closet. Soap dispenser was broken in the bathroom. and in the midst of changing clothes, a strange woman unlocks the door and comes into the room because they had assigned the room to her as well by mistake.
