The room was clean with a nice built in dining table and bench. Cigarette burns adorned the surfaces and carpet as if they had been artistically thought out to compliment the minimalistic decor. A heavy, deep scent filled my nostrils as I opened the door to my room. “What is that”, I thought to myself. Ah, that’s it. It’s damp, dirty dog. As I unpack my belongings, I turn to check the clock but there was no clock in sight. “Thankfully I have my cell phone”, I thought to myself. Then suddenly my nose starts to run and I reach for the box of tissue. Wait, there is no box of tissue. I scratch my head, perplexed, because what hotel doesn’t provide a box of tissue and an alarm clock. Realizing I need to wash my hair after touching it I head to the bathroom to turn on the shower. I grab the only two towels provided and look for the complimentary mini shampoo and conditioner. “Huh? Not again.” I say as I shake my head. There aren’t even complimentary shampoos and conditioners. Fine. I brought my own. After my shower I stand in front of the vanity combing my freshly cleaned hair. I did not want to lay my wet hair on one of the pillows and saturate it so I reach for the hairdryer. Wait a minute. Seriously? There’s not even a hair dryer? I didn’t even bring one because this is always provided no matter where I stay! Disappointed and upset, I decided I would relax with a coffee because coffee can put the most stubborn person in a better mood. I head to the sink to grab a glass and some water to fill the coffee maker for a much welcomed cup. Another problem though, there is no coffee maker. When does this end? Well at least I can iron the clothes I am going to wear tomorrow while my hair air dries. Nope! Wrong again! There’s not even an iron and ironing board. It’s just time to go to bed with all of these let downs. Who knows what else I my discover. Ah! That’s it. A paper thin blanket. So, I say a prayer and thank god that I was not expecting a microwave and mini fridge. In the morning, as I am packing my vehicle a sigh of relief was let out. Thank goodness it’s over. I don’t have to stay here anymore and there will be no more unpleasant surprises. But as I walked from the lobby the essence of wet dog could be found on my clothing at checkout. I am not from Erie nor do I know many people from around here. If I ever do know of anyone who is traveling here, I will absolutely recommend this motel if I do not like them.
