Worst hotel stay I've ever had

Although the family running the place was really nice, this was unfortunately the worst hotel experience I've ever had. The first room they put me in was seemingly clean, but once the AC turned on, the whole room stank of feet and rot, like something died in the AC. They let me switch rooms. The second room smelled fine, but the curtains didn't fully cover the front windows, meaning bright light was shining in all night long. There was also about a one-inch gap between the bottom of the door and the jamb, which let bugs in, and by 3 AM or so the room had filled with moths and mosquitos. I checked out the next morning, and despite having reserved the room for four nights, they did not offer me a refund on the remaining three nights. I'm sorry to the family running it, but this place is just bad.

I grew up in The Dalles early’60s this motel was there then and very little signs of updates, in fact I don’t think over half of it was in service. But it was quiet safe clean enough; most people are not likely to spend more than one night perfectly adequate for that.
