Iona College: Tour e Visite Guidate

PROS : Room was spacious, staff was nice, parking was decent unless an event was being held. CONS : Bathroom was small

This was by far one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. I booked an extended stay at Stamford Suites through Orbitz and arrived to find accommodations that were filthy, deteriorating, and nothing like the advertised photos. The suite had visible mold-like growth in the bathroom, rusted fixtures, damaged cabinetry, poorly maintained surfaces, and a leaking window that left standing water on the floor. These were not minor cosmetic issues but serious sanitation and potential health hazards. After just one night, I developed numerous bites across my back, which I suspect were from bedbugs. I had to purchase medication and supplies to treat the irritation. I immediately contacted Orbitz and the property, documented the conditions with photographs, and requested assistance. Instead of meaningful intervention, I encountered delays, poor communication, and little accountability. I was forced to stay one night because I had nowhere else to go. Although Orbitz eventually issued a partial refund, I was still charged an inflated first-night rate, and my Orbitz rewards were not restored. Worst of all, I was in town following a tragic death in my family, helping prepare for a funeral. Instead of having a safe place to rest, I spent precious time dealing with unsanitary conditions, health concerns, customer service disputes, and finding alternative accommodations. I have photographic evidence of everything. The lack of cleanliness, compassion, and accountability was insane
