made a quick decision last friday to go to Devils Lake. turns out there was a tournament up there that i wasn't aware of. anyway, needed to find a place to stay fast. with the power of my crapberry, i started searching for motels in DL.

finally got ahold of a place that had 2 rooms. according to a review from devilslakend.com,  this place had "25 newly remodeled rooms. Children under 12 stay free with paying adult, kitchenettes, outside entrances, outside plug ins, queen size beds, CATV, AC, pets allowed with conditions, fax and in room coffee. Free wireless internet, HD TV'S"

yeah, not so much. when they said newly remodeled rooms, they meant new tile in the bathroom, which was fine. the rest of it however was crap. it was not clean, there were no queen size beds, the AC looked like it was ready to explode. not sure about the wi-fi, but HD my AZZ!! 

it stunk in there so bad we couldn't hardly stand it. luckily, we politely explained the situation and were refunded our money. thank goodness for the kind folks at Eastbay campground that had some cabins available for the weekend.

Just forewarning everybody about the review. i base a lot of decisions off of reviews such as that one. and when you show up to find out that they were lies, it kind of pisses a guy off.

not sure if i should reveal the name of the place or not. but it is located in the Center of the City.

Sorry to hear about your experience. Back in '83/'84 and fresh out of high school, I had an apartment across the street from there; is was a crap hole then.....

I stayed there 10 years ago and it was a dump then.  Ohh and the Casino is not much better these days either.

They did have a hooker reputation over there. I wonder if that is the real reason bbouncer liked partying at my place? LOL
