A poor quality motel room, disguised as an AirBnb. If you enjoy spider friends, mysterious ant trails, and outdated fixtures and finishings (not in the good-vintage way), then this place may be the place for you.
It's not the cheapest, which was the surprising aspect of it. If you spend, say, $40 for a night, you're almost steeled against the potential horrors you may encounter. But at just over $100 per night, this was an abomination of a misleading "AirBnB".
This was (one of) the only "rooms" available for "AirBnB" - it was clear that our neighbors on both sides, lived there permanently; boarded up windows, rugs, worn laundry hanging to dry... We are backpackers, so we're fairly easy to please and don't need much, but this did not live up to it's promise. The bathroom mirror medicine cabinet contained used toothbrushes, a brush with complimentary hair, and a flattened toothpaste tube. Clean and well-worn is one thing, but unsanitary and well-worn is a different monster when you're looking to sell a room as a hotel or AirBnb - or for anyone to stay in, for that matter, that's not a permanent resident. It's not okay to leave used (and grimy) toiletries; it would be better to leave nothing at all, and clean out the medicine cabinet, for heaven's sake. I can't think of a single person who would use someone else's well-used toothbrush!
It's no wonder this Motel is hard to find, and goes by many different names. I really wanted to write this one up for it's charm, but it did not have any sparkle hiding in any corner, unfortunately.
(And apparently I was so preoccupied with fighting arachnids, and attempting to balance my pack on the chair out of reach of ants, to take (or save?) many pictures. If I can find the rest, I'll post them.) read more
