Very Disappointed/Dishonest employees

Walking in, the hotel had a clean, pleasant smell. Check-in was fine. We were given our room keys and headed down the hall to our room. Instantly there was a sour smell in the hallway just as we approached our room. The room was pretty spacious and the setup of the room was comfortable despite the dirty recliner. It was a handicapped room and the shower was dirty and had a crack in it, probably from a wheelchair tire. I asked to be moved to a different room but was told no since I had booked through a third party. We made the best of the stay, but had already marked them off for future stays. After returning home, I realized I had left a watch charger in the room and a newly purchased dress hanging in the hotel closet.I immediately called the hotel and was told the items were not there. I asked to speak to the manager but was told she wouldn’t be back until the afternoon. I made a total of six calls trying to get in touch with a manger or in touch with someone that would thoroughly look into this issue for me. I was unsuccessful. How disappointing!!! Not because of the loss of the dress and charger, but because they obviously have dishonest employees. Someone found the items and decided to keep them for themselves instead of turning them in like they should have done. They have lost my business for sure and I am now not able to recommend their hotel to others. Can’t we all just be kind and do the right thing! 😔
