Dont see it happening again.

The room was something out of a bad movie. Room was dirty, old looking, gaps around door, and was a bare minimum room. Though only a little over $100 I still expected more. Location was only thing that added value.

I didn’t like the blood spatter on my sheets when I checked in. Also I think there was a dead guy laying outside in the back of the parking lot when we left.
