Okay, the Starlight Hotel fucking sucks. First off, it's the mangiest, scummiest, dirtiest, ugliest, shadiest-looking hotel in the entire fucking world, and I'm pretty sure that world is Krypton because there's so much neon signage that even the damn air looks red. For some incomprehensible reason there actually were some other people staying at this dump; I met one family who just stopped in to use the john but then decided to get a room after the giant crocodile the manager keeps out back ate their dog. Yeah, I couldn't follow their logic either, unless they were secretly hoping the croc would come back for their obnoxious kid too. Or maybe the dad was just cracked. The walls were so fucking thin I could hear this asshole cackling and babbling and even barking for half the night, which of course made it impossible to sleep. Not to mention all the screaming later. Getting back to the crocodile, that was actually kind of a selling point for me, but frankly I didn't see a whole lot of it (I looked) and even when I did catch sight of it, it really wasn't doing much. Not unlike the fucking manager. I asked for more towels as soon as I checked in because I always use a lot, but instead of getting them for me he just sat around staring at the wall and mumbling to himself. I ended up having to get the towels myself. Plus, big surprise here, bedbugs. This place was completely unprofessional on every level. My vacation was totally ruined.
