Hotels.com LIED!

So we checked out of the wonder that is Opryland today to move on toward our Friday tour of the Jack Daniel's Distillery. It was my job to find a hotel to stay in tonight (Thursday). I go to my trusty friend, http://www.hotels.com/, and find a Super 8 fairly close to Lynchburg. It was cheap, but still around the same price as the other hotels in the area. I booked a room and went happily about my relaxing Thursday afternoon.

Fast foward eight hours and we arrive to our Super 8 motel... looks decent from the outside. We check in and see a sign that says "Please excuse our mess while we renovate." Great. Renovations. Never a good sign of what's to come. The following pictures show what we were greeted with upon entering our room, #110.

Ceiling of the bathroom


Close-up of ceiling... notice the mold? Yeah. Nice.

The outlet. The whole thing moved around and the hole makes a nice addition to the room.

This is the area under the counter right outside the bathroom. Yeah, thats a ripped up baseboard which created a big gap between the floor and the wall.
Here was the kicker for us: POOP! I don't know if it's mouse, rat, squirrel or opossum, but it was sick. Peace out, Super 8.

We did call the front desk and told them about the poop. Chad says, "Do you want to come down so we can show you where it's at?" Front desk 'receptionist' says, "Nope." Oh, good. You just leave that there for the next person, ok? Supposedly she took the charge off my credit card. If she didn't, I'll be contacting Super 8 corporate. I might do that anyway. That room was disgusting.
Oh and don't worry, we are in a VERY nice, VERY clean Hampton Inn now. Live & learn, I guess :o)
