Aspen Grand Hotel LaPorte

Do not come here. Room isn't clean (had black mold growing out of shower soap holder upon check-in, various stains in carpet). Hallways are not air-conditioned outside of the lobby area. While I was checking in, and throughout my stay, people kept coming to the front desk to state that there was no housekeeping performed despite it being requested. I experienced the same and had to hunt down housekeeping in the halls to get them to come to my room after 5 days, even though I had put in a request to the front desk already. The housekeeper ignored the black mold until I specifically asked her to take care of it when she was done with the bathroom which is when I realized she apparently cleaned the entire bathroom without ever turning on water (not sure how clean a tub or sink gets without water). Breakfast is another sad state of affairs. Anything i have eaten in the last 5 days from the building's breakfast causes diarrhea. Not sure if it is food handling or because they left the food out too long. The pancake breakfast is heavily advertised, yet I've never seen the pancake machine be turned on. There is a juice machine yet no juice because per the front desk "management hasn't purchased juice and it is out of stock" for over a week. No regular sugar for available and most days your options are bread with peanut butter or jelly packets. Save your money and just go somewhere else and you can buy your own peanut butter and jelly from the grocery store for a much fresher, healthier breakfast.
