Well done Genie. Seeing places like that makes me wonder what has gone on inside those four walls all of those years. I wouldn't want to know. This is why I like my little RV when I travel. I'd rather sleep in my own filth than that of strangers. My wife, well the entire family for that matter, doesn't get it and think I am nutz. I think you should give Buddy another chance, only you be responsible for making the arrangements for accommodations. If you don't go next time, we all will miss out on these wonderful posts you've been supplying us with.John @ Beans and I on the Loosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185975793295220723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-39244917191188271672013-10-30T16:09:08.556-07:002013-10-30T16:09:08.556-07:00I would have freaked too!

You were smart to bring the sanitizer and your own linens. Glad you could laugh about it.

How awful!<br /><br />we just came across the country in a car (different kind of roadtrip for us) and of course staying in motels all the way...they were a step up from yours, but I was still nervous and careful. <br /><br />There used to be a notorious motel in Eugene Oregon actually called the "NoTel MoTel" (they rented rooms by the hour until the police finally were able to shut them down). I was afraid you were going to say this one was like that!Sallie (FullTime-Life)http://www.travelingrainvilles.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944680374762156997.post-3986693554910663902013-10-30T13:52:44.901-07:002013-10-30T13:52:44.901-07:00Sounds like the last chance motel that people that...Sounds like the last chance motel that people that don't know are stuck with - YIKES - I would have freaked out upon arriving there and probably slept in the car. Sorry, but rund down places just scare me with the possibilities you can run into. No lock - no Lilly.<br />I would do same as you and we always carry cleaning products and clean everything before even coming in and check for bugs too?? Pretty sad today that you have to do this, even in top notch places, but you gotta do it.
