If the lobby is dirty or smells bad, it's a sign of poor housekeeping throughout the hotel.

Unclean Lobby and Common Areas

Unprofessional or inattentive staff could indicate bad management and potential service issues during your stay.

Poor Front Desk Service

Musty or chemical smells can mean mold, poor ventilation, or overuse of cleaning chemicals to mask odors

Strong Odors in the Room

Visible stains on sheets, carpets, or chairs suggest low cleaning standards and possible hygiene concerns.

Stains on Bedding or Furniture

Broken locks, unsecured entrances, or a lack of security cameras can make your stay unsafe

Non-Functioning Locks or Security Issues

Look for bed bugs, cockroaches, or rodents, especially around beds and furniture.
