I stayed at The Pineapple Inn for a week this past late winter. I found them through a Google Search, and was looking for basic lodging, due to broken pipes at my home, which left me with no heat. Their rates were affordable, and was located within an easy commute to my workplace.
I called and booked a one week stay, and was quoted a price, which was affordable. When I checked in, I was given another price which was actually higher, and was told the lower prices rooms have you sharing a bathroom, so I paid the higher price. The room was grossly outdated, with cheap furniture in poor condition. The thermostat didn't work properly, and when the heat came on, the pipes made such a loud banging noise that sounded like someone was breaking in. The TV and remote didn't work. The sheets and towels were never changed during my stay, nor was there any daily housekeeping. The walls and doors were paper thin, and it was so easy to hear others talking. Every night I would hear people talking outside my door, and would go to bed feeling very unsafe. The door did not have any deadbolt, something that modern hotels are required to have. I did not feel safe leaving my personal belongings behind when I left for the day, so I would load my car with everything before I left for work. Every morning I would see white plastic bags of trash in front of everyone's door. A worker would come around pushing a grocery store shopping cart to collect everything for the dumpster. Seeing this gave me the feeling like I was in a 3rd World Country. It was nasty!
I was so relieved when check-out day came, and that I had survived my stay. A few hours later, I got a call from a man in the office, telling me I broke the towel rack. I pointed out to him that the towel rack had already been broken, and how I had to put it back together. I mentioned the dead bolt situation, then he told me to forget the conversation ever happened. Basic doesn't have to be this bad, and would advise anyone looking for hotel accommodations to skip this place at all costs.
