Southgate Hotel

I arrived late because I was doing a cross country drove from California to Virginia. Upon arriving I was greeted by an older lady, she seemed ummm. nice! — The lady literally farted when she was checking me in lol and said «excuse me» afterwards and kept right on checking me in. No hesitation, no blushing, no nothing — We both laughed because what else are you suppose to do in those situations lol
As soon as I walked into my room I was greeted by a huge spider. I didn’t complain because all I really wanted to do was take a shower and go to sleep. Well, I literally waited 15 minutes for the water to turn hot or even luke warm and it never did so the shower was out of the question. The room smelled like old people — In all honesty, I felt like this hotel was just too big, you can tell they don’t get much traffic and the last person that stayed in the room I was in was probably months ago, which is why they don’t clean them as frequently.
One thing I just couldn’t understand was the arrangement of the room. The room is a pretty big size which is great, but if you don’t know how to arrange it then its pointless. The heater was low to the ground and the couch was literally 2 inches away from it. So the heater kept turning off because it thought the room was warmer than it actually was. Needless to say, I froze the entire night and I didn’t get much sleep either.

This hotel, formerly part of a chain, can’t remember which, is now ‘American owned’. Apparently, they did not like their Italian owners (?!), and when bought by a local now feature that.
It is not a great posh hotel. It used to be a place to stop for families traveling I suspect, with an outdoor pool and a bar (with a friendly barkeep I can report), and long corridors.
It is now a modest hotel that charges modest prices (like, $ 60/​night) for modest lodging, for families still traveling. You would not otherwise find it, but if you have to stay here, it will be ok. If you want to save money, it’s a little nicer than I expected for $ 60.
