10 reasons it’s worth it to pay the extra $20 when considering a hotel

1. Broken things never fixed.  Examples:  the shower curtain – it’s one of those curved-out kind, but it’s been pulled down and the mounts in the sheetrock ripped out of the walls.  What’s going to happen when I take a shower?  The soap shelf in the fiberglass shower insert is smashed off, the interior wall exposed.  Gouges in faux wood furniture.
2. Color theme:  No joke.  Lime green, Buddhist orange and several shades of black.  Three random, non-matching, non-related Garden Ridge surplus pictures on the wall.  Carpet is utterly hideous, like something from Grendel’s lair.  Antique gold finished lamps and fixtures.  Eeeww-r
3. No coffee machine in the room.  Ok, I can live without.
4. Floor tile in the bathroom shows that the room is actually a trapezoid.
5. The desk and chair, which I use every time I have to travel:  uncomfortable, not really made to sit and do work.  Vinyl.  Sharp edges. Undersized.
6. Slow unsecured internet.  Am I sharing this wide open, 9600-baud internet connection with the trailer homes across the street?
7. Hallway smells like a blend of bleach and asparagus pee. 
8. Ever tried drinking bourbon from a styrofoam cup?
9. Clock radio from 1974
10. Continental breakfast of Fruit Loops, bruised bananas, and bagels.  Froufrou coffee.
11. Toilet paper made of recycled Ethiopian burlap
