On a road trip with my fiance we had planned to stay one night in Roswell, we stopped at the Frontier Motel or should I say the Frontier Mel since the O and the T were burned out on the sign. We thought $45 (tax included) was a good deal and booked the room but upon entering the sights, sounds and smells turned out to be more than we bargained for.
It was like one of those scenes from a horror film, when the scary music plays and the camera eerily creeps in for an up close view. As we walked around the room we noticed garbage on the floor, not just pieces or things, tiny scraps or crumbs... but literal, full-size garbage. Creeping out from behind the entertainment stand was what appeared to be an empty pepperoni package, the floors were obviously not vacuumed, the carpets were seriously worn.
It only got worse from there as we approached the bathroom, the mirror was half falling off of the wall, the floor was filthy, the walls were filthy, the tub and toilet and sink were over taken by a multitude of questionable stains and I literally feared touching anything. After nervously pacing the room for 20 minutes and starting to panic about actually having to spend the night there, since we had foolishly and trustingly already paid... I decided to go to the front desk and ask them to switch us to a cleaner room.
When we entered our second room we were immediately hit with a horrifying odor and found it to be pretty much the same as the last room. Overall, dirty, disgusting, unlivable, unimaginable, unexplainable horror. It took only about 5 minutes of looking over the second room before I returned to the front desk and requested a refund, not only were the rooms absolutely deplorable but the other guests quite frankly scared me. There was a half naked, very creepy man that stared at me as I walked the long, dark, scary walk to request our refund, there was no way I could ever stay in that hotel.
It should be condemned.
On a side note he did agree to give us a refund but did so with an extreme amount of bitterness.
