Roach Motel

The Econo Inn is the epitome of a skeezy motel. It's in a rough part of town, and is not well-kept. The room smelled dank, and the TV was broken. There was no window in our room. There were drugged-out people hanging about the building, climbing into the dumpsters and yelling into the night. It even sounded like someone was barking outside of our door. Not really a safe or clean place to stay.

First off, on our way there, the Uber driver said he would not let his family stay there. The facility was so odd, old and just creepy. It was clean and the staff was friendly, but we booked a different hotel even after we paid for this one. The TV was literally cracked and broken, the windows were closed up, there was no way to lock the door from the inside. I could go on and on.

The ceilings had water damage. The light fixtures were falling out of the ceiling. The headboards were falling off the walls. There were people running around and doing mechanical work on their cars in the parking lot all night long. There were people running up and down the stairs all night long. The mop buckets were left in the hallway along with the wet mops on the carpet. One of the rooms smelled so heavily a bleach you could hardly breathe. The television set was turned on, but she couldn’t shut it off or turn the sound up and down. The linens on one of the beds were stained really bad.
