Needed an inexpensive, pet-friendly place to stay when our building's air conditioning went out (90 degrees F indoors). One night in this place was more than we could bear. Exterior was run-down and rusty. I knew it was going to be trouble when I saw 2 police cars in front as we pulled up.
The original front desk was shut down, and they used a converted room as their office. I tried to introduce myself, and the clerk on the phone 'shushed' me.
Our room stank of urine and mildew. The lampshades had MOLD on them. The counter for the sink was put together with particle board and drywall screws, and had a coat of white paint slapped on.
The furniture was broken and had handles missing. The in-room fridge looked in decent shape, but it smelled horrible as soon as the door was opened.
I wasn't expecting the Waldorf or the Bellagio for this price point, but this was abominable! No Gideon Bible... as if the Lord Himself was scared to be there.
