Reasons to not stay at a $35 night hotel



1) The exhaust fumes from the truck stop in front of the hotel are nauseating.
2) The mass amount of electrical wiring over your room will not let your cell phone operate.
3) The noise from the freeway exit which is your neighbor will keep you awake.
4) The TV and phone will not work - really both.
5) Even though the you requested a non smoking - you will cough from the smoke smell when you enter your room.
6) A new cob web will appear in the bathroom from one visit to another.
7) The door does not seem to completely shut.
8) The dining option is only the truck stop 24 hour grocery store.
9) Two taxi drivers could not find the hotel and I had to call the hotel and pass the phone to the cabbies --- "Oh...behind that truck stop."
10)There is a pool, but it is being used by unsafe looking men with mullets and wife beater shirts drinking a keg of beer there all the time.
11) When people park in front of my door - the headlights wake me up.
12) One spends $30 per way in cab fare and 3 interstate exchanges to get to conference events.

If i didn't laugh I would cry.

Unfortunately, that sounds pretty typical of what the "inexpensive" places around Disneyland are like. Though one year for WorldCon I did luck out with a place a couple of blocks from the Convention center that wasn't too bad....

[And a nice surprise to find your blog, Ida! :-]
