Coming back from the honeymoon with Mrs.Hogwarts. Stayed at the Quality Inn in Vicksburg. Opened the room and the bleach smell was enough to knock anyone down. Slept on top of the comforter because I didn't trust the sheets. Loud music all night and people talking, I kept waking up every hour and checking and making sure my car wasn't on blocks in the lot. Saw several drug deals in the lot go down. Got up early and got out of there.

San Diego is pleasant, but I’ve never stayed anywhere without AC. I’ve stayed places with window units.. but I don’t think their weather is quite the level of nothing at all. I can imagine he was miserable.
Nothing at all only happens when I’m in Northern California.

Oh shite you just reminded me of another incident. My senior yr of high school i drove to houston to visit one of my bffs from BR. We decided to get a hotel room and have people over. We picked a random hotel, no clue that it was an unsafe place. The next morning, my bff went to bring her boyfriend home and i stayed in bed asleep. She comes back about 30 minutes later, walks in and says get up the cops are here. So i sit up in bed and the cops tell me not to move. But i still wore contacts at the time so i couldnt see anybody without being allowed to get my glasses or put contacts on. I had to sit there blind as a bat while they tore the room apart and accused us of being a part of sketchy drug stuff that the cops had been watching at that hotel for some time. They also accused my car of being stolen. I was crying at this point trying to explain my car was a graduation gift. I had to sit there blind as a bat, crying while they destroyed the room. I dont even remember the room being that bad. Def not like the scottish inn in tuscaloosa.

We decided one year to go to San Juan Island in the Puget sound, north of Seattle. our intent was to go out and then catch the ferry back on the last trip of the evening if we were unable to find a room on the island.
Turns out we got the last room at a small Mom and Pop motel It was cedar walled flat roofed and really rustic. - Maybe 6 rooms. We thought "How quaint" and took it. Turns out our room had a desk fan and no AC. No problem, it was in the middle of Puget sound and should be nice and cool.
It hit 93 degrees that day. The hottest day of the year for them. The room was really hot until well after dark, but when the temp started coming down it was nice with windows open.
Then about 11:00 that night a group of Hells Angels showed up on 7 motor cycles to take the 2 rooms next to ours. After they shut down their Harley Choppers, it got quiet enough and the next morning I went out and for maybe 30 minutes talked to 7 of the nicest Hells Angel guys you would ever want to talk to. Great Jackets nice Hells Angel Colors and everything.
They thought it was a hoot that we flew in from Mississippi and rented a car to drive up from Seattle to San Juan Island (It was where Free Willie was filmed).
Then I found out that one of them and I were stationed at Ft Lewis at the same time (Feb '70). We were slick after that. They stormed past us later that day on the other side of the Island and all threw Thumbs Up as they blew by.
Shame we didn't get addresses. We could have swapped Christmas Cards and all.

Drove into Charleston about midnight, dead tired from driving all day. I check into a hotel and they give me a room on the sixth floor. I grab my bags and head for the elevator and the desk clerk informs me that the elevator is down for repairs. So I climb six flights to my room. I put the key in the door but the door won't open. I keep trying and then I hear, "Who is it?" I first think I'm at the wrong door but check my key and it's the right room. The door opens and there stands a bell hop. He hurries out into the hall and tells me to call down to the desk if I need anything. I'm goofy tired, so I shrug it off and go in. First thing that hits me is cigarette smoke and the funk of a fresh crap. If the elevator had been working I would have gone down and had them put me in another room. But again, I'm exhausted and hungry, so I open a window and head up to the bar on the top floor of the hotel to get a snack. Next morning I wake up and it's my turn to visit the throne room. When I flush the toilet, it immediately starts to overflow. I was still packed because this was just a rest stop. So I stuff towels in the crack at the bottom of the bathroom door and hit the road. Never said a word to anybody about the overflow. Somebody got a nice surprise and I felt like I evened the score.

Was on a road trip to stay in a suite at theWit in Chicago. Was supposed to be a 12-14 hour drive from La. to Chicago. This was during the ice storm a few years ago. 14 hours in, we were still in Tennessee and were stuck on the interstate for hours in bumper to bumper traffic with 18 wheelers jack-knifed everywhere. We were finally able to find a hotel late at night off one of the exits in the middle of nowhere - a Motel 6. They had to shovel snow away just to get the door open - there was solid snow around 1 1/2 feet high against the door. The room was what you'd expect - bugs, stains on the sheets, moldy bathroom, etc.

Some place that no longer exists at a border town called Beaver Creek in the Yukon.
Left the port of Haines, AK and it was around 50 degrees and raining. When I got up into the Yukon it was very cold and snowing. First snow of the year (October) and you couldn't see the road, there were no snow berms.
Stopped for the night in Beaver Creek and no motel was open except this little place which was basically several Atco construction shacks pushed together.
No liquor available that time of night in town, temps around zero, heavy snow and wind. The electricity went out, the natives next door partied all night and I froze. The wind was blowing snow around cracks in the windows, and around 3 am I went to the car and slept for a couple of hours until the roads were plowed.
Pretty sure I paid around $100 for that hole.

Was in a wedding in this old farm house bed and breakfast type place in the middle of no where. Got drunk at rehearsal dinner and girlfriend and I decided to go to room.
Since this was an old house converted into a bed and breakfast, the rooms were weird and I did not notice in my drunkenness that our room had 3 doors leading into it.
So I’m balls deep in girlfriend, over top of her with a hand full of breast, and she has her head back over edge of bed. That way we were both able to see the faces of the bride’s parents and two teenage sons as they came flying in one of the doors trying to get to another part of the B&B as they were leaving the rehearsal.
The pre wedding stuff the next morning was interesting.

Had a lady walk in on me and the wife doing it. The hotel gave her a key and checked her into our room.
That happened to me in Lafayette. Then they tried to bill me for another room.

I checked into an old lodge just south of Denali (Trapper Creek) that was strange. They had strippers once a month, the bar was filled with 50-70 year old couples tipping the girls.
The rooms were decent looking from the outside but during the night I had to piss and since I checked in drunk, didn't realize there wasn't a toilet in the room. There was a sink, so I pissed in it.
Woke up the next morning with frozen piss on the floor. There was no plumbing hooked up to the sink.

Growing up in the 1980's, my parents generally would stop for the night in a town, find a payphone and call around for the room with the lowest rate.
If they offered hourly rates we wouldn't stay there, but there were some real gems- in room Jacuzzi's with mirrors all around (my parents wouldn't let me get in- I understand now), 25 cent vibrating beds, and of course roaches.
As an adult I tend to stick to Hamptons and Doubletrees, and I always read the Tripadvisor reviews.

You know the comforter is the one thing that rarely gets washed right?

Balmorhea State Park in west Texas about 10 years ago. Stopped in for after noon and decided to stay in the lodge.
After the sun started to set the crickets started crawling in under the door. Hundreds if not a thousand of them. We stuffed towels under the door and covered up to our necks with the blankets. They were crawling everywhere. Not very much sleep that night trying to keep them out of the bed and off our kids.

I was 17 and still living at home before leaving for school at UT. Left a party with a chick (who was 18 and still living at home) and we decided to get a motel room so we could smash. I had no cash on me so she paid for it. Got in the room. Messed around. She puked on the bed and in the sheets and on my legs. I slept on a nasty motel 6 floor with no blanket. Did not get laid.
...and I bet she just posted "Me too" on her facebook

never washed most likely
typical room turn in my hotel was remove/replace the sheets & pillow cases and just fold the bedspread back over them

Me and several buddies were driving back from the Bama game in 2015. We decided we couldn't finish the drive and stopped in Merridian, MS to sleep.
When we get to the hotel they say we can crash at no charge. Sweet! The catch was a sink hole had opened up and broken the water main. There was no running water. Luckily i got in the bathroom first and was able to flush my chit. Second dude had to poo into the water from the tank, and dudes 3 and 4 had to piss into turds that couldn't be flushed. It was awful.

Stayed at FE Warren Air Force Base a few years ago. The temporary living facilities were crap.
