Date summer 2009.

Hubby and I booked a room through a discount web site for Tupelo Ms.It was rated on as a 2 star Hotel.

This is what We experienced there.

We arrived around 10:30 Pm after a long Drive. The Gentleman at the night window had our Key ready to go. We picked it up and Off to Room 120 a non smoking room.

The first thing I noticed was someones shoes sitting outside of the room next to ours.We opened the door and walked in to see the following: the bathroom window had toilet paper shoved into the cracks to stop the draft I presume and had cob webs in it, the wall mounted soap dish had very old, crusty soap scale on it, the tiles were cracked,water stains under the sink, the shower had someone elses hairs and shaving residue in it/ soap scum. ( the shower also pulsed off and on if someone flushed next door) and mold in the caulking next to the shower, the bathroom mirror was so old that it had lost some of it glazing, part of the bathroom floor linoleum was missing, there was no safety door latch, so I used the vinyl wing back chair( you know the one with rips and tears and paint all over it?) to wedge under the entry door handle to obtain some feeling of security. there was no fire alarm, the carpet is staine dnad the room smells of an oder Im not sure what is was.The baseboard molding was very dirty and also had what appeared to be vomit? on it( maybe that was what I was smelling)the walls are scuffed and in bad need of new paint and repair, the night stand had a hole in the top and the dresser appeared to be broken. My pillow case had cigarette burns in it, and also the pillow itself was of some floral burlap type material the sort of which I have never seen before (maybe standard fare in the 60s?

But inflated prices for hurricane evacuees. Would not refund for next day if you found you could leave early. I messed up there, should have done a daily reserve but thought Ivan would mess up longer. Seems they had a flat rate of $45.00 plus $5...
