It gets better.

There's a dog barking in the room across the hall. Someone must have called to complain, because the hotel put a sticky-note on the door telling the occupants to retrieve their dog from the front desk.

Next door to that room, taped to the outside of the door is a NERF basketball hoop. A few little kids were playing basketball in the hallway this morning around 9 a.m. and woke me up.

I've stayed at low-rent places before, but have never experienced anything like this at a Fairfield Inn.
