patgundI know I haven't done much Yelp reviews of late, but allow me to share my latest
Ah, the Vagabond Inn in Redding California (civic motto: "What's That Smell?"). A beacon to lure the weary traveler to rest, in much the same way the sirens of mythology led weary sailors to their rest. Only less soggy.
Check in, get your key from the annoyed-sounding clerk, and see what delights await you in your room!
There's the loud but curiously ineffective air conditioner.
The un-absorbent towels, with a texture much like low-quality burlap, which show the finest production techniques of a Soviet-era lint factory.
The construction-grade toilet paper.
Sheets from a similar source, topped off with wafer-like pillows and a kindergarden felt "blanket".
The TV with missing channels and a chemical smell when turned on.
The flaky Wireless Internet, demonstrating the 21st century equivalent of dixie cups and string.
And of course, the mystery sticky substance on the headboard, just right to give your hair that rasta-like matted quality.
Yes, from the moment you step foot in your home-away-from-home, you'll wonder why your feet are sticking to the floor and what's the slippery substance in the tub.
And in the morning, the smell of burned coffee and stale donuts await you in the lobby!
The Vagabond Inn in Redding, California. The memories will last long after the last of the contact dermatitis fades.
