I feel a moral obligation to write this review to warn others. My stay at the Stay Express in Athens, Texas, was the most horrifying and unsafe hotel experience of my life. This place is not just bad; it is condemned, deceptive, and dangerous. SAFETY & HARASSMENT: The most critical issue is your personal safety. This hotel houses individuals we were told are "mental patients," who live on the property. During our stay, we were actively harassed and threatened with violence by some of these residents. The situation was so severe that we had to call the Athens Police Department. When we reported this to the hotel management, their response was to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. They showed zero concern for our well-being. FILTH & UNSANITARY CONDITIONS: The advertised "clean and decent" rooms are a complete lie. · The sheets were dirty and stained. · We found COCKROACHES in the room. · Most shockingly, there was FECES SMEARED AGAINST THE WALL. · The bathroom was a health hazard. The tub was painted with cheap house paint, which was peeling and collecting grime. · The towels provided had BLOOD STAINS on them. This place is not just unclean; it is a biohazard. FRAUDULENT & HOSTILE MANAGEMENT: When we could no longer tolerate the danger and filth, we demanded a refund to leave immediately. The management was incredibly rude, unaccommodating, and hostile. When I tried to reason with them, one of them told me they "look forward to my lawsuit." This is not a joke. Why would Expedia host !!
