I thought, "How bad can it be?"
I was picking up my son from SDSU and just needed a place to stay from Friday evening to early Saturday morning. Howard Johnson's is very close to the campus and inexpensive. I thought, "How bad can it be?" Well, I'll tell you. On a day when temperatures were well over 100, the room was not air conditioned and the refrigerator was unplugged with the fridge and freezer doors wide open. There was a fan unit above the sink counter but it was too noisy to use during the night. The thin queen mattress slanted downward at the foot and was not completely covered by the flat bottom sheet. My feet were directly on the mattress. The tv was old school low def and received only a few channels. The room was hot and noisy but worst of all I felt unsafe.
