will never stay here again. As soon as Karen walked into the hotel room,
she started choking from the awful smell and she had to go back outside.
Lee Duquette left the door open, and Karen stood outside, while he drove
to the store to buy air spray, Lysol spray and candles. It took a couple
of hours before Karen could enter the room again. Most of the rooms
may have been empty (unless they were out traveling around) because
there was only one other car in the parking lot at the time Lee Duquette
checked-in and also when he checked-out. Worst hotel experience ever.
They did not complain because they solved the smelly problem themselves
with their sprays and candles. |

Then Lee and Karen Duquette
went inside a nearby book store and Karen took a couple of pictures.
They did not have any time to buy anything because a clerk came up to
them and said the store was closing in five minutes. They were leaving
town the next morning, so unfortunately could not return. |
