Top 10 Signs You Are Stayig in a Cheap Hotel

Time for another edition of Phil T's Top 10...

Top 10 Signs you are staying in the cheapest hotel around....

1. The walls are so thin, not only can you hear the people in the room next to you, you can hear as much as two doors down, the parking lot, and the convience store across the street even when you turn on the air conditioner and the mini fridge in the room.

2. Passports/Birth Certificates are not required to check in, but based on the conversations you hear in the other rooms and the look of the other guests, they probably should be.

3. There is a noodle vending machine, dispensing several different flavors of insta-noodles.

4. There is a night window and when you ring the bell for service, the person who comes out from back looks like they just woke up.

5. Free continental breakfast is really just a loaf of bread, a couple stale bagels, and some watered down orange juice sitting on a counter. If you are one of the first couple people there, you might get some cream cheese and butter.

6. You can check in up until 7 am. Who is checking into a hotel at 6:30 in the morning?

7. There is a no limit as to the number of people you can have in a rooom.

8. Less than 2 blocks down the road is a Thai restaurant, a Korean dentist office & a Mexican grocer ALL on the same corner

9. You wake to hear people speaking a language that you don't understand right outside of your room at 3 in the morning

10. There are no elevators, real keys for the doors, pay phones, a leaf filled pool and a sign on the door emphasizes that you should use the extra lock on the door for your own protection.
