OYO Hotel Petersburg VA I-95 & E Washington St

The room I was provided looked nothing like the one in the photo. The carpet was dirty, there were roaches present, the room did not have a table similar to the one in the photo, the bathroom did not even have a roll of toilet paper. When I asked for extra towels, we were told none were available. Like the old saying goes, 'you get what you pay for'.

This place is a known to be a drug user area. This hotel was the worst I had ever seen in my life. I left immediately and kept my dog in my car while I worked a 12 hour shift as a nurse. This place is unsanitary and dangerous. Only drug addicts live here and looked at me like I wasn’t supposed to be there

Filthy, cockroaches, falling apart, no towels, no drinking glasses drug and prostitution going on all night. Couldn’t sleep, left there at three am. Nothing like the picture. Only reason I stayed was because I had been driving all day and was exhausted. Had no idea where I was at and where to go and was now afraid to leave the room. Thankfully there was a lull in activity and that’s when quickly left.

Room wasn’t available when I arrived. Front desk manager was very polite and polite but asked if I could wait while the room was cleaned. Lots of people in the parking lot being very loud. When I got to my room with the dog I was transporting I brought her and my bags into the room. I always check for bed bus no matter the hotel and didn’t find anything and the bed had a zipper cover to protect it. I did find roaches, mold and burn spots in the room. I just wanted to get sleep and I decided to stay. The noise level outside sounded like the people were inside the room. After taking meds to sleep I pulled out the covers from them tucked under the bed and a needle popped out onto the floor. I contemplated leaving but had taken meds that made it unsafe to drive. I should have risked it because the noise was never ending and when I did get to sleep I was woken up by new noises from outside including someone vomiting. With the noise and nightmares about the roaches I didn’t sleep much and left at 5 am to sleep at a rest stop so my mind could actually rest
