So I'm actually sittin in the room right now as I write this. It started off alright with a few exceptions( dirty nasty gray soapscum stains in the tub, dirty floors, something unknown in the freezer part of the fridge) well then I saw a bug, which my Fiance proceeds to tell me is just a waterbug. Well we brought in some things from the car, and headed out to see a friend of mine. All was quiet (and quite smelly), the boys had dinner and were laying in bed watching tv. I get up to go smoke in the bathroom, and wouldn't you know it, a pretty decent sized cockroach was sitting on the door jamb staring at me. So I killed it. Then I came back by the bed, to find the ashtray, moved a few things on the 'nightstand' and a couple babies take off....so I kill them too. Well since our tv has no buttons and was getting loud since they both fell asleep, I grab the remote to turn it down. Well it just wouldn't work. So I took the back off to check the batteies, and here come like 5 more babies running at me. I threw the damn thing, disgusted... and all of a sudden its just come to life. The entire inside of the tv remote control was full of babies. So here I sit in the chair scouring the room searching for more of them, and I am running off of 4 hours of sleep almost 48 hours ago...and after drivng almost 20 hours myself yesterday and this morning alone. I'm beat...can barely keep my eyes open, but yet I feel its my motherly duty to watch over my old man and son. The blanket on the bed is so gross I had to get my own. Well I was walking around barefoot (not a good idea) and I go to turn on one of the bedside lamps, and got shocked....literally! I had to put my flip flops back on to be able to turn it on. There are exposed wires coming off the ac unit, and whoever commented on the shower water....omg so right. I think its messed up they have so many no refund signs in the office. They get u to agree to no refunds before you know how nasty it is. I'm going to tell them face to face what I have thought of my stay....and 1 more night of being wide awake ought to make me quite grumpy by then. There was someone smoking crack in the parking lot....and I'm afraid of my car being broken into. And as I sit here writing this...and enormous roach just crawled down the blanket I brought that the boys are using to cover up with. They need their sleep...but really? I have an Autistic son who turns 7 this month....and I just keep watching him like a hawk. Let me see 1 crawl on him...I will be in that lobby so fast snapping off they won't know what hit them. I am very protective of both of them, and this is making me sick. Neither of us slept yesterday so one of us has to now so we can get back on the road. I'm beyond tired....but beyond sickened out wins over tired any day. My lamp shades keep randomly moving on their own, and someone keeps tapping on my door. I'm itching all over from feeling gross even just standing in this room. I will never return...and if you stay check the phone books...I left a note to future guests.
