Not worth it

I remember when Howard Johnson hotels were nice. After the first night there a roach was found in the room and still moving. There were two workers who were nice but the others weren't. After being moved to another nonsmoking room, cigarette holes were found in the bedspread and there was a hole in the bathroom door. The man working there became upset and even the housekeeper became uncomfortable.
