Traveling ...

Post by Pepi »

I always make sure and make hotel reservations ahead of time when we travel. Well, being retired and having know idea what day it is half the time I FUCKED UP. I forgot one night for a place to stay and the city was busy as hell. We finally found a so-so place and this is what we found. At least the room and linens were clean.

Trash by the room by us. At the end of the hall trash everywhere. EVEN a shitter top. Our room had ONE light in it and it was above the TV LOL :D Only 175.00 a night lol

That's better than Motel 6, but still for $175/night, that is not good. Leave them a bad review.

I would have bitched until they provided a partial refund.
Some guys like a challenge. Not me.

I'd keep driving or sleep in my car before paying $175/night for that shit...
I Love the smell of nitrocellulose in the morning.

that sucks but sometimes when you are way out in remote areas you take what you can get.

airbnb.com and homeaway.com are my go-to sites for places to stay.
