The power cords to the side table lamps were severely damaged, bent, and one of them the ground was busted off in the socket, while it was barely plugged in, pinched behind the bed that was also broken. The beds sprigs were completely shot. Now let’s move on to the absolute filth that I found under the bed where my head would be, old used food wrappers, and a huge bag of chewed on pistachio shells. Then there’s the stains on the mattress cover, the hoes in the walls and paint that had been scraped off the walls, moldy caulk and zero seals around the main door.

There's a reason this was one of the last available rooms in Ames due to a convention in town. The crickets on the linoleum floor were easy to catch before I laid down on the moist bed to rest, decided to get up, get my bag and sleep in the car.
