Grumpys Motor Inn Flatonia, Flatonia

My boyfriend and I met at Grumpy's for Valentine's Day because it's at the midpoint between the two cities we live in. We thought it'd be fun to have a non-traditional celebration for such a cheesy holiday. Well, it was certainly non-traditional. When we checked into Grumpy's, we were greeted by a lobby decorated with what appeared to be flower arrangements stolen from graves in the early 90s as well as poorly taxidermied animals, including a snake in the process of eating a rabbit. Our room was no more welcoming. It was dark, musty, and smelled horrible. One of the lamps did not work. My boyfriend had to clean a pubic hair and a fecal stain off of the toilet seat before it was suitable to use. All of the soaps, etc., were from other hotel chains. The bathroom floor was filthy, and the bathtub was stained with rust. There was no fitted sheet on the bed, and when the flat sheet moved, it revealed a dirty mattress underneath. In fact, I had to have three glasses of wine just to feel comfortable lying on the bed. I had an allergy attack in the middle of the night due to all of the dust in the air conditioner. Bottom line: When your boyfriend has to comfort you with the sentence, "Well, I think the only thing we can get from this bed is crabs," it is NOT the kind of place you'd want to stay.
