did this motel guide several years ago when i was fishing tournys in the Georgia/Alabama area and before the internet became popular and forced these cheap motels near lakes to improve.....

motel rules to live by... go elsewhere if


the lobby smells like curry...
the desk clerk's skin color is darker than your suntan and he/she barely speaks english...
female desk clerks have a triangular red mark on their forehead...
they hand you a key that resembles a restroom key at a convenience store...


if you have no choice except to stay there,expect the following....


a/c that barely works....(not good in the deep south)...
ice machine that is usually empty...
towels the same thickness as bed sheets...
30 watt light bulbs in the rooms...(saves the owner money and doesn't allow you to see how dirty the room I really is or how many bugs/roaches are crawling around)
bathroom soap...one bar approx. same size and diameter as a quarter...
television...10 years old and with 10 available channels none of which carry the ballgame you were hoping to see...
remote control with dead batteries...
majority of motels's rooms are rented by the hour so be prepared to woke up all night long with doors slamming and rap music blaring..
Wi-Fi won't reach past two rooms on either side of the lobby.....
walls so thin you are privy to arguments,music ,sexual activity,TV and snoring on either side of your room...
one maybe two electrical outlets in the room and none in bathroom...(and one will always be behind a 600lb bed)

feel free to add additional rules and/or observations...

This isn’t the ‘60s anymore

where do you live?....that is some funny stuff...I'd learn to sleep in truck or fish different places.

I'm 66 and it sounds like you my dad's age, love going fishing him..he evens gets after the minnows.

Best Western in Emory charges $30.00 for boat parking!

read the first sentence....

Even if you specify a downstairs room when making a reservation, it is hit or miss (usually miss) whether you actually get one.
If you do get a downstairs room as requested, there will always be a car parked in front of your door, just never your vehicle.
If you have a boat, there will be no outside plugs to use for charging your boat, except for the one by the pool, that is surrounded by a gated fence and inaccessible to you. (side note, you will always be 20 feet short when trying to run an extension cord to the boat from the hotel, and doesnt matter how many extension cords you bring)
If you are able to run an extension cord from the hotel to your boat, there will be a car parked on top of your cord at the time you are ready to leave. (the car is usually some shade of burgundy, monte carlo or caprice, with the spare donut tire on one of the front wheels, and crushed shlitz cans in and around the car.
