We stayed at the Baymont at the end of a cross-country move. First, the hotel (actually a motel) is off a service road next to an abandoned restaurant and is not in the best part of town. There are no restaruants nearby and thankfully, Papa Johns delivers.
My husband went in to check in. The clerk made an imprint of his credit card, walked away for a second and "lost it." She asked to make a second imprint, which did not make us feel good. We didn't like a copy of his card wandering around. As he checked in, I watched as a fellow guest stood in the parking lot, popped some pills, and then began to shoot birds in the tree with a sling shot. As my husband and I grabbed our baggage out of our car, a guest on an upper balcony commented on all the "nice stuff" we had in our moving truck and mini van, which made us feel that all our life possessions would be gone in the morning. As we walked to our room, we passed three groups of people sitting outside of the rooms and by the pool drinking, most intoxicated. We checked into the room, which is the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in. The doors are on the exterior and the keys were not the electronic, reprogrammable type that make you feel more secure. The keys were old. The door frame was bent, like it had been kicked in before. The room was infested with flies. The shower was dark and dreary. The towels were thin. The air conditioner didn't work. Half the lamps didn't work. Needless to say, I didn't sleep soundly. We got up in the morning to a horrible continental breakfast, but all of our belongings, thankfully, were safe and sound.
