Executive Inn Mercedes - Page 1

I can't even begin to tell you how disappointed we were with our stay. I book this through Orbiz for $47. We got there and was put in a room that had so much mildew that my husband had an allergic reaction after being in the room for one hour. We asked for a different room and when we tried to plug in the wall unit a/c it arced on us (bad electricity). Then we asked for a third room still mildew problem but not as bad as the first two. The check in lady said it was because of the hurricane and flooding. The restaurant was fabulous. We asked the owner of the restaurant how bad the hurricane hit them and he said there was no flooding or problems. Then when the hotel sign came on later that night, it showed the rooms were available for $39.99. We had plan to stay two nights and it was so bad we left the next day so we made the 5 1/2 hour trip back to Houston. I won't even cover the roaches we found in the room and how the second floor baclony was cracked completely across (was patched with cement) and had external support barriers across it.

The rooms had water damage from hurricane Dolly,The first room we were given was totally uninhabitable,the smell was so bad we couldn't stay in the room for more than 1/2 hour without getting sick,I developed a skin rash from touching something in the room.The second room had no a/c.The Third room still smelled musty but was tolerable for one night.We paid $47.00 per night for 2 nights in advance, when we got there the rooms were $39.00/night on the sign out front.Renovation in progress but stay away until at least next year.Mold and mildew everywhere,paint peeling off doors ,graffiti in bathrooms,faucets and fixtures had green corosion on them,furniture had water damage and was still damp to the touch,white fuzzy mold on carpet at wall borders,curtain backings were torn and in poor shape.also there was a large roach in the bathtub which I caught and sent down the toilet.

We left early the next morning for a trip across the border and returned at 1:00 pm and inquired about a refund for the balance of our stay due to the condition of the rooms but since we were 2 hours past checkout time we were told there was nothing that could be done.We packed immediately and returned home.We'll know better next time.

My stay at this hotel was excellent. It was quiet and very pleasant. The rooms were clean and the food was filling. The front desk was open all night and was very sensitive to all my needs. THe owner was even present and was very friendly. I recommend staying here.
