The Worst Hotel in America

OK, this story happened a few months ago, but I thought I'd share it with you anyway to make your next hotel stay as uncomfortable as possible. It always grossed me out that they never wash the top comforter on the bed. Ew. Anyways, there are many hotels that are candidates for being the worst hotel in the country, but the Value Place Hotel in Arnold, Missouri wins the grand prize. It has since been foreclosed by the city of Arnold because in the 23 months it was open, police had been called there over 200 times. 200 times in 23 months?! It's like this place immediately became Arnold's largest crack house. The Drug Task Force, the DEA, and the FBI responded to prostitution, drug sales, drug manufacturing, child pornography, drug overdoses, theft, assault, rape, and other felonious activity. At the rate this place was going, I'm surprised murder wasn't on the list. The extended-stay hotel was a real bargain, charging guests only $30 a night, or $199 per week. This is what happens when hotels charge insanely cheap prices- they turn into drug dens.
The room actually doesn't look that bad, it just looks like a generic hotel room. The picture lends no hint that the place is actually prostitute and drug infested. Ironically, their slogan was "So clean, you have to see it to believe it." Umm, I think not...
