Every year TripAdvisor puts together a list of the DIRTIEST HOTELS, and sends all +60 million members a link to their findings. Listing a Hotel as the Dirtiest Hotel in the USA or Asia, Europe etc. is a VERY serious accusation and will without any doubt ruin the livelihood of the owners. So, surely TripAdvisor must have plenty of air tight evidence that the reviews are all based on genuine reviewers, and follow up on all the disgusting reviews and photos that are submitted by completely unvalidated TripAdvisor users… The sad truth is, TripAdvisor has ZERO evidence that any of the reviews are genuine, after all, TripAdvisor is 100% unvalidated, and 100% open to abuse. ANYONE can create as many TripAdvisor accounts as they like and start posting lies and libel reviews about ANY establishment. There is NO way TripAdvisor can be certain the reviews are legit, they know the damage that will be caused with the list they publish, yet they still go ahead and Destroy the livelihood of EVERY Establishments owners on their Dirtiest Hotels List.
FOOD 4 THOUGHT
The interesting thing with this article is that we posted equal amounts of positive fake reviews as we did negative fake reviews about the above establishments. TripAdvisor had no trouble at all posting the Negative Fake Reviews ( sometimes within hours of submitting) However for some reason TripAdvisor refuses to allow Positive Reviews to be posted about these establishments.
Ask yourself WHY TripAdvisor would put this list together, claiming that a minimum of 85% of all reviews about these establishments are negative when they themselves are (purposely) not posting positive reviews, thus artificially bringing up the Negative percentage.
TripAdvisor act like they are God Almighty
If you believe the unvalidated users and reviews that TripAdvisor uses, then this is The Top 10 list of Dirtiest Hotels in the USA.
TRIPADVISOR’S UNVALIDATED 2011’s Top 10 Dirtiest Hotels in the U.S.:
1. Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center – Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
2. Jack London Inn – Oakland, California
3. Desert Inn Resort – Daytona Beach, Florida
4. Hotel Carter – New York City, New York
5. Polynesian Beach & Golf Resort – Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
6. Atlantic Beach Hotel – Miami Beach, Florida
7. Rodeway Inn – Williamsville, New York
8. Super 8 Estes Park – Denver, Colorado
9. Palm Grove Hotel and Suites – Virginia Beach, Virginia
10. Econo Lodge Newark International Airport – Elizabeth, New Jersey
Here is the Bullshit TripAdvisor had to say …
New York City’s infamous Hotel Carter made its return to the dirtiest hotel list in 2011, and has appeared on the list five times in six years.
“For the sixth consecutive year, TripAdvisor is shining a light on those U.S. hotels which have made a mark on their guests for all the wrong reasons,” said Karen Drake, senior director of communications for TripAdvisor. “From TripAdvisor’s core, we believe that candid reviews — good, bad and ugly — empower travelers to see it all so they can plan and experience the best possible trips.”
The unveiling of the dirtiest hotels follows TripAdvisor’s announcement of the world’s best hotels in the 2011 Travelers’ Choice® awards. This year 676 establishments were recognized in the ninth year of the honors, across categories including Trendiest, Best Luxury, Best Bargains and Best B&Bs and Inns.
TripAdvisor site data also reveals that overall, traveler ratings on TripAdvisor continue to climb, currently averaging a four out of five rating. Despite this growth in traveler satisfaction, the 10 dirtiest U.S. hotels indicate that some properties still need to clean up their act.
“While the list of dirtiest hotels is compiled from traveler ratings for cleanliness, invariably, it seems that poor hygiene indicates overall poor conditions. All told, 85 percent of TripAdvisor travelers who reviewed these ten properties recommend against staying there,” continued Drake.
Now if that is not enough codswallop, and not enough damage has been done by posting this list, TripAdvisor feels compelled to also add more salt to the wound by also adding some COMPLETELY UNVALIDATED Reviews from UNVALIDATED people.
Here is what the obnoxious TripAdvisor added to the above insult, followed by FAKE Reviews that TripAdvisor approved and posted.
Are we sure they are FAKE?.. .. Yes 100%, we submitted all these Fake Reviews, and TripAdvisor approved, and posted them on their site.. next to their now removed slogan ” Reviews you can Trust “

1. Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center – Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
“If you are looking for a hotel with chewing tobacco spit oozing down the halls and corridors; spiders actively making webs in every corner of your room; carpeting so greasy and dirty you wouldn’t want to sit your luggage down – let alone walk around barefoot…… by all means, stay at The Grand Resort.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
Look TripAdvisor here is one of you pompous arrogant Certificate of Excellence for what you claim to be the Dirtiest Hotel in the USA.. So far we have given away more than 60 of these badges.
Yes, EVERYTHING about you is FAKE!!
2. Jack London Inn – Oakland, California
“The rooms displayed a level of filth and discomfort that mere neglect could never produce. The parking lot resembled a post apocalyptic junk yard. The halls reeked of cigarette smoke, body odor, and failure.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
3. Desert Inn Resort – Daytona Beach, Florida
“The ceiling was peeling, the walls were cracked, there were cigarette burns throughout the room, the Jacuzzi tub did not look clean, the bed was not a pillow top as advertised and very hard, I located a few small bugs on the box spring, some of the wood was rotten in the bathroom, and the balcony was littered with old cigarette butts.”
OUR FAKE Review approved and posted by TripAdvisor
4. Hotel Carter – New York City, New York
“The first thing we had to do was buy cleaning products – not that it made a difference. The carpets were that dirty I refused to walk on the floor without shoes on – choosing to jump from bed to bed or bed to draws.”
OUR FAKE Review approved and posted by TripAdvisor
5. Polynesian Beach & Golf Resort – Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
“The floor of the room was dirty, if you took a shower your feet would turn black. The lamp shade in the room had exposed wires and did not work. The floor in the bathroom was peeling up, a great trip hazard.”
OUR FAKE Review approved and posted by TripAdvisor
6. Atlantic Beach Hotel – Miami Beach, Florida
“The shower curtain had an unidentified gelatinous substance, the air conditioner wasn’t working and being held up by tape, there was a big hole in the wall, the sheets weren’t cleaned.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
7. Rodeway Inn – Williamsville, New York
“The room, however, made an indelible mark on all of us: chipped and peeling concrete around the ceilings, pieces of the bathtub disintegrating and rusting, black streaks on the walls, and worst of all, crusty white stains on the blankets and sheets.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
8. Super 8 Estes Park – Denver, Colorado
“All of the pillows smelled like smoke and greasy hair. Each of the comforters had large stains on them when pulled back and it was very obvious that they had not been laundered in a LONG time.”
9. Palm Grove Hotel and Suites – Virginia Beach, Virginia
“We found a baby bottle laying next to our bed upon entering the room, sand in the floor and on the sheets, beer bottles on the balcony.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
10. Econo Lodge Newark International Airport – Elizabeth, New Jersey:
“There was mold, stains on the carpet… there was something sticky on the comforter and the topper of it all… we probably have 25 bug bites between the two of us.”
OUR FAKE Reviews approved and posted by TripAdvisor
Using FAKE Photo’s
Just because someone submits a photo with a review means Jack Shit, we have submitted loads of FAKE photos with some of our FAKE Reviews..
DON’T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU SEE … especially on TripAdvisor
There you have it in a nutshell, TripAdvisor nominated these hotels based on completely unvalidated reviews from completely unvalidated members.
True, this list was published back in January 2011, and we only started posted fake reviews in March 2011, but that is not the point.
The point of this is to show that TripAdvisor has not got a single clue what is true and what is fake, yet they still think they have the right to publish such garbage without validating the people that post the garbage or the garbage that is posted.
Since March 2011 TripAdvisor has approved and posted MORE than 830 ( and counting) FAKE Reviews on their site, some reviews are posted on their site just HOURS after we submit them. We have HUNDREDS of fake accounts, setup for one goal.. Post Fakes! .. and what does TripAdvisor do to stop this from happening??.. NOTHING!, cos they can’t. They delete a fake account we create and cause havoc in the Owners Forum, and we create 5 more. TripAdvisor has completely lost the plot, and things are just warming up.
The Grand Resort Hotel & Convention Center which was destroyed by TripAdvisor’s Dirtiest Hotel List is suing TripAdvisor for $10 Million,this is just the start, we are approaching and advising other Hotels and Restaurants to do the same.
We have more than enough evidence that TripAdvisor is not capable of running a bath let alone a travel website, for any court to put an end to the way TripAdvisor conducts their business, allowing anyone to post anything completely unvalidated.
Contact us for more info on how to put a legal end to the LIES and LIBEL Reviews TripAdvisor posts on their website.

I am an owner of a vacation house in Tuscany, Italy, and I join the protest because I think Tripdavisor violates all laws of competition, privacy and property rights. I hope tripadvisor fail. Thank you,
