THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH CONCERN: I am writing to formally address the issues I encountered during my recent stay at the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton, located at 320 North 44th Street, Phoenix, AZ 85008, in room 555. Upon my arrival, I encountered numerous unacceptable conditions that significantly impacted my experience. The room had a foul odor, and I discovered another patron's clothing left inside. More alarmingly, I observed tinged blood on the pillowcase, hair in the bed, a Q-tip on the floor, a dirty rag on the side of the bed, and a bathroom that was not sanitized. These conditions violate cleanliness standards put forth in Arizona law, which mandates that hotels maintain a safe and sanitary environment for their guests.To provide context, Arizona law requires that hotels adhere to strict cleanliness and maintenance protocols, ensuring that all guest accommodations are thoroughly cleaned and inspected before check-in. This includes the removal of any bodily fluids, proper sanitation of all bed linens, and ensuring that bathrooms are hygienic. The state statutes underscoring these requirements clearly outline the responsibility of hospitality establishments to their patrons, making my experience not only disappointing but concerning for my health and safety.Furthermore, the property manager's attempts to place blame on me for these conditions were not only unwarranted but dismissive of my concerns. The overall state of the hotel was deplorable, with a pervading smell of urine and fecal matter in outdoor areas, prompting me to leave the property and incur an additional cost of $1,350.00 for accommodations at a hotel 30 minutes away from my work site.The potential exposure to bodily fluids is unacceptable, and I remain unsure if I came into contact with any of these hazardous conditions before my discovery. The stress and panic caused by this situation are considerable, and I am compelled to request a thorough investigation. I have already filed a complaint with Hilton's corporate office and now seek your assistance in resolving this issue. I urge you to take this matter seriously and ensure that appropriate actions are taken to address the concerns raised. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. I look forward to your prompt response.
