Utica Rest Inn

My friend and I, two 25 year old women, traveled from Maine and arrived around 9 PM on our way across country. We walked in and there was no one in the lobby to speak with/check in with, yet random people were in the lobby talking to their own reflections. The entrance to the building was wide open for anyone to go in. There were sketchy people walking around the parking lot and in the building. I was texted the pin to get into our room. The only lock on the door was a keypad, and given the sketchy area, we felt extremely unsafe. While entering the room there was a man stalking the door and watching us enter. Were placed in the first room on the left on the first floor. Window was only kept shut with a small piece of wood. Once we were in our room we looked around to see if it was clean and it was the most disgusting room we’ve ever seen. My bed had urine and blood stains on it and the pillow had old make up on it. We literally could not have gotten out of there faster. So unsafe. NOT recommended for lone travelers or women or anyone who does not want to be at risk for assault/human trafficking etc. $130... absolutely insane.
