the others) Big mistake
- Econo Inn with a lot of homeless around
- Reserved a room with 2 double beds - she gave us one with 1 double bed
- She gave us a room (115) with two double beds
- She allowed only one room key
- There was no A/C, the outside window had a bent wire holding it partially closed and the toilet was stopped up
- She switched us to room 215 - everything worked. However, due to the one key rule, one of us had to stay in the old room while the other made multiple trips up stairs - there is no elevator.
- When I went to inspect Room 215 before moving in a man, who was either high or drunk, was demanding loudly to get into the room next door. He had a square plastic “patch” below his right ear.
- When I came back to the room with my first load of stuff he was gone.
- However, when I came back up with my second he was opening the door with a key (so much for the one-key-per-room rule). Again, he was conversing loudly with the room’s occupant
- When Ed and I came up with our remaining paraphernalia he was in the room taking with the inhabitants(s), loudly. Telling him/them “You don’t belong here. You’re just a guest!”
- From our “new” room Ed could keep an eye on his truck down in the parking lot. There was a dumpster near it. A girl was dumpster diving - her legs sticking up out of the dumpster. After a bit she emerged with an ice cream tub and a spoon. There’s more but the word limit is reached.
