On a family trek from NY to Florida, we were looking for a pet-friendly room for one night, and booked this place from the road.
I don't know where to begin. The walk from the (bulletproof glass enclosed) lobby to our room was like running the gauntlet of strange characters and smells ranging from raw sewage to cigarettes to worse than you can imagine. I've never been to a crack house, but I imagine it would smell something like this hallway.
Once in our room, which was surprisingly acceptable, there was no hot water. There were several commotions started in the hallway. We then noticed that the door to the parking lot was not secured - the card-key lock had been broken, so all sorts of people were walking in and out.
About a half-hour later, my son was thirsty, so it was back down the smelly hall to the soda machine to buy a bottle of water. As I opened my door, a police officer walked in through the parking lot door. He kindly told me to "have a nice evening." I could not think of a more impossible task at the moment. We could hardly wait for sunrise to make our departure
