jetset1-
You are my hero. What a riot! And you didn't even send the PC police out to get me.
Regarding your list, I have to say that duct tape is one item that might be useful in any situation!
But, permit me to add to your list:
rubber boots
handcuffs
mace or pepper spray
bail bondsmen business cards on display

aw momof2~ you are a good sport!
Hey, no one was born knowing all the inside tips.. we have all been under pressure and hindsight always makes sense later, but you were wise..
I shudder to think of the bedbugs, pet dander, toenail clippings and horrific stains not seen by the human eye had you thrown caution to the wind. The screaming alone would have made sleep impossible.
it takes years of sceintific study and consulting strangers on a message board to really make the smart choices in life, (and wise alcohol use) to have a lovely hotel experience..
look at it this way, you have something to laugh about for years to come.. give the boys comical names like Cletus and Leevon and chalk it up to a walk on the wild side.
p.s. Next time, go further east towards the Pine or Sullivan exit,or closer still if you must, Argonne, where there are a few decent places off the freeway, plus clean restaurants,(about two miles from your previous area or stay downtown near the park)..
**and stay off Sprague without a NASCAR approved helmet! best, J.

Every time I drive down New York Ave in DC, I feel very sorry for the trusting tourist who booked a room at some of the hotels just inside the NE city limits. I checked and they are listed on Travelocity. Those hotels are truly scary and not anywhere near the attractions most tourists want to see. Granted, they have low ratings; but why are they listed at all?

Oh momof2~ I looked up the dreadful place, and just realized it's Geiger location, now let's make clear one thing.. the truckers of the West Side are a much different breed than the valley truckers.
The ones in the valley have usually had the feathers and cow chips sprayed out while fueling up, the West bound ones have most likely passed through Montana under cover of darkness for multiple crimes of passion.
Only once did I venture into the area because of a bbq rave, but had my tear gas locked and loaded. There is no pepper tree, the urination killed it in the eighties. False advertising at it's very worst.
*Please heed my previous advice and move further east should you venture through again, J.

Momof2- hoping you understand that no one (or at least not me) thinks you should have checked your family into a disreputable hotel. it sounds sleezy, putting it mildly.
Why I (and I assume others) have been giving you are hard time is... you booked a hotel without seeing it, when you were only 1/2 hour away, then got mad at Trip Advisor, and posted three different complaints about it here.
Lesson learned, let it go...

momof2 - let me say that I think you have handled all the discussion on multiple threads here with admirable grace. While you have received some concrete and good suggestions, you have also, as you know, been the inspiration for multiple jokes and some snide comments. You have responded to all reasonable comments with dignity and without falling to the level of some of the comments here. You even seem to have some sense of humor about the initial situation.
So while I do not agree with everything you have posted, I certainly applaud the way you have handled all the discussion here. It is not easy to get slammed on this board.
(PS - and now we all know about different areas in Spokane, what prison tatoos look like, more than we want to know about room massages)

momof2~ seems to be a simple fix to this drama would be merely stating
"No teeth, tattoos? No service".
A Best Alternative Lodging Inc.
Leering in the lobby is not allowed.
Our desk help has been spayed and neutered.
Geez, a white haired hooligan leered at me recently at a quik stop when I only popped in for wheat bread. It gave me the willies, because clearly, he had "idears".. what he was capable of, I shudder to think, what with the free samples available to anyone calling 800 numbers.
Again dear, safe travels, J.

I still like Neopolitan's policy of puting the drunk drivers back out on the street instead of giving them a room for the night.
Those drunks could make too much noise, wander into your room, bump into things, urinate in public, blow chunks, go to the bar for more drinks, fester, and flash.
Much safer with drunks behind the wheel of a car than in your hotel.

well, truckers need love, and it's a free market.. but I don't want to hear them in the throes of cinnamon hot pleasure either..
No one addressed the rudeness of the fellas, could they not have waited a bit or called the desk, or searched the yellow pages before being so brazen with their queries?
a shame really, since the big rigs often have sleep quarters.. sounds like the boys needed a shower at a truck stop, and after biscuits and gravy, they might have been more civil..
one hairy hand over the other, delicately declaring "I can't believe it's not butter"..
I would go so far as to say the severely inebriated should even be asked to leave, but one knows what happens in Vegas, so that is a moot point.
