Apple Core Hotels Wants to Find the Fugliest Room in America

Where: New York, NY, United States

Got a fugly room in your house? Is your room as fugly as this one?* Or — if this is even possible — even fuglier?

If so, Apple Core Hotels wants to see a photo of it — and not just to gawk at it and laugh at it. No no: this is for a contest. The hotel group, the company behind five budget hotels in Manhattan (The Hotel @ Times Square, The Ramada Inn Eastside, The Red Roof Inn Manhattan, the Comfort Inn Midtown and the La Quinta Manhattan), has been majorly renovating and sprucing up their properties lately. In conjunction with this, they've launched an "Ugliest Room Contest" — and you can win some cashola you have an ugly room to show off.

For those with less than dashing digs, the process is simple. The contest begins now and entries will be accepted through June 30th at midnight. Applicants are required to submit a photo and a brief description of their "ugly" room online here. One lucky winner will receive a $75 American Express Gift Card and the runner-up “ugly” room champ will be awarded a $25 American Express Gift card.

Ha, we love how they say "ugly" with the extra punctuation — like the ugliness of the room in this photo would be up for debate. Beat this pic by submitting your ugly room here.

*Yes, this was actually our bedroom in college once. Yes, we decorated it that way and we sincerely thought it was awesome at the time.
