“DO NOT STAY HERE IF YOU TRAVEL ALONE.”
The hotel was close enough to the only gas station with food, and the towels and linens were clean. Checking in was straightforward. However, the ceiling had large chunks missing, the bathtub was patched, and the room was very cold. I couldn’t get the TV remote to work, and trucks parked outside made a lot of noise all night, with men shouting under my window. In the morning, while I was showering, someone pounded on the door and told me to leave my towel in front of a parking lot full of people for a fire alarm that I never heard. The fire department showed up, and I almost missed my brother’s wedding. I packed up and left after a sleepless night. If you’re traveling alone, don’t stay here. Food delivery services wouldn’t deliver to me, the door was drafty, and I smelled cigarette smoke all night. The bed felt like a cardboard box, and the curtains didn’t block the windows, so people could see through the mirror on the wall.
