I have never left a motel after being in a room for 2 hours and gone across the street to another motel. When I checked in, the door to the lobby was locked and the proprietor greeted me through a bulletproof glass window and laughed when I said “is it really that bad to stay here”. The motel is literally next to the Arkansas state police headquarters so I thought I would be safe. I was around the back because I requested a ground floor room. When I opened the door to the room, it reeked of *********, stale beer and smoke. I was really tired and had a service dog so I accepted my room conditions. During the next few hours, eight cars came and went to the room next to me but did not appear to be friends and most definitely the person/people next door were not travelers spending the night. At one point a car that pulled up next to mine while I was cleaning it made me very uncomfortable so I went back inside with my service dog. I agree everyone has to make a living so decided to stay inside. I had turned on the air conditioner and two hours later, my dog is panting and I am sweating. At that point, I packed up my things, left to door card on the dresser and went to the Best Western and begged them for a room. I did not bother going to try for a refund or to let the office know I was leaving. It was the best $74 I ever wasted.
