Schooner Inn

Hell on Earth

First off I was at a joint war fighting conferene at the va beach convention center and I did not look very hard for accomodations. So this is my fault for staying here. I checked in on Sunday around 3 pm and was greeted by a nice girl who I never saw again. I was first issued a card to room 527 the door and card reader were so rusty the door would not open.

No air conditioning ( The best i could get is 75 degrees) I opened the duct and the filter was black and mildewed. You know how the ones for the house are supposed to be white or blue.

The humidity is so great in the room that there is a layer of moisture over everything. The AC rattled and leaked condensation. The furniture is so old and outdated that the laminate is peeling off. The towels and sheets on the bed are as rough as sandpaper. The cable television is not bad however I could only get 5 channels. So if you are on vacation and it starts to rain you better bring a dec
