Eagle Motel

Stop!!! Do not go there!!! Sleep in. Your car if you have to. There are other motels off of exits before and after. Unfortunately, I made a terrible choice!
Not even if you are looking for a no-​tell motel. I have been around. Been in nice places and on occasion needed a discount place to sleep.
After 30 hrs up and driving I saw the sign on Rt 40 and headed that way for their «reasonable rates».
When I saw the tiny room and the shape it was in I wanted to leave. But, was too tired. I ripped everything off the bed and used my own blankets. I’ll have to wash those.
Filthy does not describe this place. You could wash off the first layer of grime with a wet paper towel. Then you’d need the strongest cleaner you could fine.
Stains on the sink came off with a splash of water.
No way was I going to shower in that filthy tub. Broken light fixtures. When I tried to turn on the light next to my bed it fell apart with the bulb and socket laying in my hand. Bare wires exposed! If I had touched both it could have been bad or very bad. It is UNSAFE to stay there! Doorknobs made up of various brass and chrome components. Still had to wiggle the knob & key to get into the room. Carpet may have been vacuumed in the past. But, only what you could see. Layers of dust, dirt, and guests trash in the corners, under the beds, table, curtains, etc.
Had enough?!
I called the Burke County board of health as soon as I left. I told the owner I would.
Never ever stay there! Local folks, let everyone know.
I hope I didn’t get bed bugs!!!
Disgusting!!!
