My standards were low. Somehow they still missed.
I arrived to checkin and you can’t enter the lobby. It’s unclear if you’re supposed to buzz or pickup the phone (ew) that’s outside, so I did both. Eventually someone came and let me in, and the rate was different from my confirmation. Blank stares from the attendant.
Eventually I pay for the room and he hands me the key. I turn around to go to my room, and the attendant followed me - a solo female traveler - to my room. Proceeds to tell me not to touch the AC. I’m assuming that’s what he said anyway. There seemed to be a language barrier, he pointed to it (from inside my room) and said “75”. So I’m not supposed to touch the thermostat in a room I’m paying for?
In terms of comfort, the bed was the equivalent of a thin foam pad over plywood. I pulled back the covers and see black curly hairs embedded in the stained sheets. Went and got my own bedding from my car because that’s gross and implies they didn’t change the sheets let alone wash them. But I’m already checked in and racing in the morning and don’t have time to figure something else out.
The microwave buttons were covered in greasy fingerprints and the room felt damp to the point I didn’t want to take my socks and shoes off. I passed on the shower. Slept and packed up and out by 5:15AM
Perks - under 15 minutes to my race. Parking a non issue. It had a bed, a working bathroom, and a door with a lock. I guess it had a microwave (I didn’t open it) and a mini-fridge.
