Overpriced is an understatement

I know about the old saying "you get what you pay for", but now I know what it means "not to get what you pay for." My daughter and niece and I were taking a trip throughout the Outer Banks and needed to stay one night in Nags Head. If you have ever been to Nags Head, you know there are limited comerical places to stay, besides the many condos in the area. So, I guess if you are the only game in Town, you charge whatever you want. I paid over &170.00 for a double bed room that was not ocean front. The hotel was not clean, it was run down, smelly, the pool was almost large enough to get wet in. The doors would not shut, which ones you ask, almost all of them. Construction was going on the outdoor deck due to some hurricane that occured sometime in history. The elevators were slower than molasses in January. This place even made the Atlantic Ocean look bad. The staff was very nice, but who cares, I'll take less expensive rates over a cool staff person any day. If you want to run a run down and I mean a "run down" hotel, thats fine, just don't charge rates that are way beyond your capabilites. If you chose to stay at this place, when you pull up to unload, just get you a very sharpe stick and stick yourself somewhere and then it will be less painfull when the nice desk clerk drops the rate bomb on you.
