As we pulled up in the drive, the place looked cheerful enough, a huge building situated in a polluted town, nothing amazing which is why they don’t get much business I expect, I was only here because I had been driving for almost 24 hours and I couldn’t spend another day without a rest.The Hotel
The building was covered in chipped paint work, mud and what look like remains of egg from top to bottom with small gaps where there was small windows and a double door. I walked up to the door and knocked loudly on the door, it was answered almost immediately by an old woman carrying an old fur coat. Her face looked like it had been pushed towards the middle for decades and her few remaining teeth were black and rotted. Before I had time to turn away she shuffled me into the dark, damp hallway where there was an old reception desk with an even older man behind it doing nothing but waiting to die.
“How many nights?” He croaked weakly
“Urm… just a night?” I answered stunned
“Minimum stay is a week”
“Okay ill be on my way then” I said glad to have an excuse to get out of here
“Your rooms up the stairs on the left number 69, breakfast is at 8!”
“But…” Before I could say anything else he had passed me over the key and went into a silent sleep.
I climbed the creaky stairs into what looked like a drunk mans leftovers. The ‘bedrooms’ either side of the hallway stank of what smelt like a mixture of urine and sick, and all you could hear was snoring and shouting coming from the battered doors which had seen there day come and go around 60 times. The place screamed for it to be knocked down, but there was no such mercy.
I came to bedroom number 69, (or 96 as the numbers had been turned around) and dreaded what I would see behind the chipped door. What I saw wasn’t that bad. There were a few mysterious stains on the carpet and bed sheets but I could handle them, all I cared about was how comfy the bed was. I flew at it, lied there and fell instantly asleep.
When I woke up the next day it wasn’t peacefully, a huge bell coming from downstairs rang and rang until, one by one everyone was downstairs and ready for breakfast, a few still wearing blue fluffy dressing gowns, thinking there was a fire, stared around in puzzled astonishment. Others looking cheap and cheerful ready for a full day ahead of them. Don’t know what their looking forward to around here, nothing around except motorways and offices.
