Evan you are funny.... Always have been!!!!! I was traveling for General Motors years ago and went to Brawley, CA. They do not have cockroaches there, they have skateboards with legs. Get a dozen or so of those fella's running around and you would swear the 49ers were holding practice in your room. I refused to go back to Brawley! Dave .................................................. ... The worst place I ever stayed was when I was on the road selling jewelry. On night I stayed at the Watergate in Washington, D.C. I ate my usual candy bar, and left the wrapper next to the bed, turned out the light and went to sleep. I was woken up by some sort of rustling sound, and turned on the light. My bedside table was covered with cockroaches who had found the wrapper. They all took off when I turned on the light, so I turned it off and went back to sleep. I lived in motels all week most weeks for ten years. I just want a place to sleep, a shower, and some towels. One time when I judged a Futurity, they had no towels. I asked to be sure they had them in the morning, and they never got any. So, after fretting for a bit, I took my shower and pulled a sheet off the bed and life was good. I have a lot of other stories about motels, like the one in Vegas where they asked if I wanted it for the night, or just an hour? I was there with Linda Jones for the dog show, (I don't remember why Tedi and John weren't there), and she didn't understand why all those girls were standing in the lobby in short shorts and halter tops. After I explained it to her, she insisted on locking herself in her room, and refusing to come out except if I called her the next morning. I told her they wouldn't hurt her, but she was afraid anyway. How bad can the Nationals be? Evan In a message dated 7/11/2014 9:26:27 A.M.

I've had issues at other hotels before - even in some very expensive hotels - and in my opinion, it's how the hotel takes care of them that matters. ================================================== ========================== POST is Copyrighted 2014.
