Low EV and Cheap Hotels

 So now that I've done my racing I'm back in the Casino. Unfortunately, I had a severe downswing that resulted in me having to lower my EV significantly in order to protect my bankroll. with lower EV means having to watch what's spent on things OTHER than playing. This means that you look at hotel stays a bit differently.  So instead of the normal  Hampton Inn, I went with Quality Inn. Let's just say "Quality" would be a vast overstatement. Imagine walking into a room and seeing this:



Yeah. thems stains of some sort. I don't know from what but I knew one thing, I wasn't sitting on it. I'm not even going to get into the clientele. It's usually a bad sign when you have signs about extra charges for smoking in the lobby AND room. It's also a bad sign when people who look like they may be doing some illegal substances are sitting in doorways.

It's really not a good sign when first thing in the morning you see 4 police SUVs pull up. 

Yeah. That low EV life is not at all nice. 

Should I discuss the black spots in the bathtub caulk? No? OK.

Let's just say I won't be returning to this establishment. Period.  When I pay for a "cheap" hotel, I don't expect much in the way of amenities. I do expect a chair and chairs lacking in what appears to be bodily fluid stains and what appears to be mold. 

I left a note on the chair telling whoever it is that 'cleans" it to throw it away.
