OK, I dragged out an old AAA book, from 1999. They are (or were) rated 1 diamond motel.
I guess they are a clean motel at least!

I'm crying, I'm laughing so hard.
But just think, this is the best (Or most) advertising they have ever had!

Thanks for checking on that AAA diamond thing. Did anyone notice that the mother of the bride on the photo page looked alot like the proprietor on the home page? And what exactly are the size of the beds? Single room max occupancy 2 persons. How would they sleep together in that tiny bed?

Ok one last thing. On the photo page they show a picture of a "Major Motion Picture" set up and you can see the movie crew in the background standing around. Then you look at the "family reunion" photo and it's the same guys!!!!

OK OK I PROMISE this is my last post (maybe)
If they have a "hit" counter on their website, it must be going nuts now!
They are gearing up now, running that washing machine for the sheets, getting ready for the rush of business!

What an absolute masterpiece...I've already wasted way too much time at their website but it is just too amusing. My personal favorite is:

EXTRA FEE HOUSEKEEPING SERVICES:
EXTRA CLEANING because of
unsanitary conditions.

Do we even want to imagine why this clause was added?

Thanks to the original posters -- we are all duly warned!

I sent the URL to several friends and they are SO AMUSED by this site. I wonder if the owners will see their site stats tomorrow and get excited about all the business surely coming their way?

I don't understand. I go to this site, and all I get is freeserver casino ads and it makes my cursor go crazy. I cannot get on the hotel site at all! Anyone?

Linda...I don't know what to tell you about the casino ads...but if you can't see this site you are really missing out big time. It is truly a gem!

I'm still crying!

Laugh all you like, but where are you going to find a Motel run by the same family for 45 years, AAA rated, listed on the History page of the Riverview Chamber of Commerce as pretty much a local institution, offers use of a pool, has in room refrigerator and HBO, offers free coffee and all for $40 a night for a couple of seniors. Believe me there is an audience for it.

Here's what the Chamber web site says:

The Bianchi Motel, located on U.S. Highway 301 in Riverview, was established in 1958 by Pierto and Louisa Bianchi. The family motel began with four units and a small, two-bedroom house. Today the motel has 15 units and a pool. The family recently celebrated their 40th year in business at the Bianchi Motel.

"Recently" would be 4 years ago right?

I think we've crashed their website, used up all their bandwidth. I can't get to it either, but did yesterday.
