I saw this thread on another forum I post on, so I thought I'd bring it up here.

The worst/scariest place I've stayed was in Marietta, Georgia. I still go there from time to time for work, but the first time was the gnarliest.

I checked into a Super 8, since the price was fair, the staff seemed friendly enough, and it was right across the street from where I had to go for work. I was there for a week, and the first couple nights were alright. I was there in January, and I remember January in Marietta being damn cold. Like 25 degree windchill cold, IIRC. So when the lock on my room doesn't want to let me in, and I'm standing outside as the owner of this dump is fiddling with it trying to get it to work...nothing really worrisome, just annoying.

The scary part was on my last night there. I was listening to the evening news, playing around on my laptop when someone started banging on my door. I peeked through the peep hole and asked, "Who is it?" Some chick is outside my room, bawling her eyes out, telling me about how she got into a huge fight with her boyfriend, wanting to know if she could come in to use the bathroom. I tell her that the lobby downstairs is open, they've got a bathroom down there. My spidey sense is sayin' something ain't right, so the whole time she's explaining this, I've got the deadbolt latched, the U-bolt latched, I wedged a chair against the door and had my Glock 19 in hand.

She then tells me that this dude was whippin' her ***, beating her and whatnot, so again I said, "Okay, go to the lobby, I'll phone to the front desk and get them to call the cops for you." There's a moment of silence, then I hear two or three sets of footsteps running in the opposite direction, and the girl says "Nevermind!" and runs off too. I didn't sleep at all that night. I set a chair up on the far end of my room, turned the lights off and left the TV on, Glock in one hand, Surefire flashlight in the other, cell phone with "911" already punched in, just needing to hit "Send."

 

I stayed at a place once where the room service was late. (I won't name the hotel).






Does that count?

 

My Uncle lives in Marietta. It's a pretty fancy place.
Where was this hotel? I guess everywhere has some sort of "ghetto."

 

hahahaha

 

I've flown over Georgia, not sure if I've ever been there . . .

wait, I take that back, I have for a few minutes. We were driving north to Jacksonville. We assumed it was a big city. We drove right thru it, didn't notice, and the next thing we knew, we passed a sign that said "Welcome to Georgia".

The only thing I've ever wanted to go to Georgia for is to see Augusta National, and next April I might have passes. I'd kill to play that course, but I'll have to settle for walking it (but I'll still be in heaven). Other than that, what else is in Georgia? (other than nasty Super 8 motels)

 

Never really been to a scary hotel, unless you count the ones that charge by the hour.

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!!!

 

i think i'm gona get a G19 soon. my G30 is great but the 9mm round are 1/2 the prince of the .45 so i can put more lead downrange.

anyway what was we talkin about........

 

There's some pretty high scale living in Marietta...I just wasn't in the right part of town for it.

The place I stayed at was on Franklin Road, a few miles west (I think) of Cobb Parkway.

 

"What's the scariest placed you've ever stayed in? Seedy hotels, etc."

At the home/apt. of any chick I've picked up at a club/bar, you never know who or what you're going to find in the morning.

 

Whenever I go to Vegas, because I'm cheap I stay in really seedy hotels all the time. no bellagio or monte carlo for me. Last year for SEMA I stayed at the Howard Johnson airport. I was leaving one morning I saw a drug deal going down in the parking lot. It was also really crappy hotel... but, during a convention it was $30 per night, which beats paying $200 a night for one of the hotels on the strip. I wasn't scared for myself, but if my girlfriend were with me, I would have not been staying there.
The year before I stayed at the Wild Wild West truck stop/hotel across the interstate from the strip. Similiar deal, didn't witness any drug deals going down but I'm pretty sure I saw someone shooting up near the pool.

 

Poolside, U. S. Embassy, Tehran, Iran.

 

Wasn't there someone around here with a haunted truck...

 

That's probably Tritoneer...anything automotive he comes into contact with convulses, fall apart, spontanously combusts, runs into garages, exceeds the posted speed limit on it's own, and just about anything else you can think of.

 

And has ghosts in his back seat!!!!!!

 

that's in Ohio.

Right now there is a pink 95 running around Vegas...
