AKA the roach motel. Home away from home for those who swim at the bottom of the gene pool. Tennis, tea or badminton anyone?
Could have told you blindfolded which hotel they found him in. What is it about this hotel that attracts slime and why don’t the police do something about it?
@Anonymous-It is cheap and they rent rooms by the week.
Drove by the other day and saw kids running and playing in the parking lot there. Very dangerous, I thought. Seemed unsupervised.
If you’re on the lam, best not to stay at a motel. Cops check motel registration papers routinely.
I doubt that…. when? where? which motel?
Isn’t that the motel that was going to be doing background checks?
