I was traveling for my parts Business (Isellmiataparts.com) I called ahead from my cell phone to two places, this one, and the hampton. Prices were similar. both places told me that I didnt need a reservation and I could float in at 10 pm no problem. My mind told me to go to the hampton, but when I got off the high way the western looked great, there was a restaurant in the parking lot for supper, and a waffle house on the other side for breakfast (Im a sucker for a waffle house lol) so I took the room. Well let me tell you the the outside looks GREAT, not so much the inside. dark and dingy. reminded me of a seedy detective novel.
f I would not have been so tired I would have bailed on this. But I was tired, and I really only needed a clean bed ( was nice and clean, wont take that away from it) I contemplated bailing once I had supper, but again, I was real tired. I stayed. The hotel was noisy, and even though I had a non smoking room, I woke in the morning with a headache from smoke. The room is probably 50 years old, and even though its now non smoking, its still permeated with smoke. Meh I had a decent night sleep, not great. I wasnt disgusted, but I sure have been in better for the same price ;) Cant tell you what the other hotel was, I didnt stay there.... but the next time Im in Rolla, I will try it. doubt it could be worse, and I hold out for MUCH better <wink>
