There were spiders and roaches even in the bedding. It has been acquired by foreigners and they seem to think cleaning consists of spraying a vile smelling chemical into the air.

We were on the way to Walt Disney World, and I was around six years old, so I am reciting from retellings. We did an all-nighter, and were forced to spend the night at a hotel in a town somewhere near the Florida-Georgia border, possibly farther into the Sunshine State. It was about one or two A.M., every single hotel was booked. We managed to get a spot, past midnight, at an unnamed and wretched motel. The room was intended for TWO PEOPLE. We had eight. My great-grandmother, my grandmother, and my mother had to sleep in a small bed for two, and everyone else had to make due with the floor (my sister and I got a pallet to sleep on) or hard chairs. By everyone, my sixty plus grandfather, and my late thirties father, who were so sore in the morning. Now, the part that unnerved my family was this. The room had, according to the staff, "just opened". Now, what kind of two-occupant room becomes available that late? Exactly. It was clear to my family that the room had been suspected to an unholy aspect of society. We shiver at that to this day. My family thanks God that the staff kindly provided us clean sheets and a low rate! The floor was dirty (with outdated and dark-colored carpet) and the bathroom, according to memory, was ALL a stained white, and I think the sink was cracked. The shower... I don't think anyone dared to get athlete's foot at 8:00 A.M. . We escaped that hotel as fast as possible, asnd I don't think we ever checked out of a hotel that fast for the rest of my days. However, compared to the poor souls who had to experience the overnight torture listed above, I can say that the eight of us slept in the Ritz-Carlton! -------------- The other bad hotel experience was one I'll never forget. I was about thirteen or fourteen this time around. We had heard of a radio advertisement. Six Flags Over Georgia had opened its gates for FREE for a whole day! We thought there would be a crowd, and a huge one at that, so we thought up the idea of sleeping in a hotel one exit from the park. Thus, we did. Al hotels were mighty expensive, sadly, so we chose a Super Eight inn which had a $50 a night rate. That price should have said something.

Talk about disgusting. I had to clean up after a man defecated all over the bathroom. Had to wipe it down and then use all purpose cleaner to go over bathroom when done. No disinfectant etc. I used to take my own Lysol, Clorox wipes etc so at least people coming in would have germ less room. I looked at extra blankets that were kept in bags in closets and they were often cluttered with pubic hair, head hair and stains. I once opened a "packaged" spare blanket and there was a mayonnaise packet in there. The rooms there were 150-300 and some even more per night. I now operate a small motel and can tell you I personally clean my rooms and though outdated they are CLEAN! I would never ask a guest to sleep in a room I wouldnt let my kids sleep in. while working at a large resort in French Lick Indiana we were very short on housekeepers so on days we were slammed we were told pull the down cover back if sheets look clean run vac hose with attachment over them to remove any skin, hair etc and spritz with freshener and remake bed.

Am I having deja-vu or have I already told those stories on a previous WVSR thread? Ah well, doesn't matter - they're still good. P.S.
