I understand that when marketing a business, the goal is to make it look good, but GOOD LORD. I’ve never been catfished so bad and I’ve been on some pretty rough blind dates.
When I checked in, the staff was nice and went smooth as any other check-in. I drove around to my room as it was facing the parking lot, I couldn’t help but notice how decrepit the lot looked. Akin to the style of the Walking Dead. I could be over exaggerating but still… Pretty rough.
I found my room quickly and was able to park right in front of my door. As soon as I walked in the room, I noticed my main light switch wasn’t working. No big deal, I thought. Other lights were working fine. But as soon as I turned all of them on… Well, let’s say it was pretty much given the worst “landlord special” I have ever seen. Cracking paint everywhere, hanging electronics, open drains without covers (I was almost in a constant state of anxiety that I might drop something in the sink).
I sighed… One night, I thought. It’s just one night. After getting situated, I took off for a bit to meet up with family for dinner. I was out maybe 3 hours MAX. I came back to my room REEKING of cigarettes. I was worried someone had broken into my room, but all my stuff was left untouched. My room had one of those connecting doors to another room, the smell was strongly emanating from the cracks of the door.
I called the front desk and they were quick to move me to another room which, honestly, was exactly the same as the last.
