If that wasn't the only hotel in the vicinity,after my 10+ hour drive, with free rooms, i would have bolted. Hell, if my car had a shower i would have slept in it. The room was smelling of damp and was terrible. The sheets were clean which is pretty much the only positive thing i can say. Checking out, at reception when i handed the keys, i do realise the clerk was on the phone talking to whoever, but a nod or acknowledgement of any kind would have gone a long way.
