Budget Inn

Our sleep deprivation got the better of us when we settled on staying at Pulaski’s Budget Inn. We should have paid attention to the hand-​written signs on the bullet-​proof glass office window that said «no drugs» and «no refunds». About 30 seconds after we parked, «the welcoming committee» of steady regular guests surrounded us and our dog, firing off questions like «does she fight?», and «where y’all from?», while taking inventory of all items in our car. The most vocal of this crew was the delightful young woman in Elmo pajama pants and a tank top who told us all about her old pit bull who got pregnant, as well as her own unwanted pregnancies. After successfully fleeing the parking lot scene, we retreated to our room for the night, only to find mouse poop on the mattress and stains just about everywhere. Despite having made note of the signs, we decided to get a refund. DO NOT STAY HERE, unless you are looking to contract a nice skin disease, or if you desire someone to break into your car, OR if you are in search of new material for your next short story.
