What's the worst hotel you've ever seen? And why is it the worst?

33. I once woke up with cops IN my room.

My girlfriend, her girlfriend (later her wife... nevermind, it's a long story) had been in San Diego doing our San Onofre anti-nuclear shtick. We were staying in a cheap motel. I was in one bed and they were in the other. I woke up to the sound of my girlfriend screaming bloody murder and attacking some strangers and demanding to see a warrant.

Her girlfriend was cowering under the covers. She and I made eye contact.



I stumbled to my feet wearing only my tighty-whities (my girlfriend and her girlfriend were equally uncovered) and this seemed to calm the situation. Crazy half naked woman is one thing, skinny nerd with a farmer's tan wearing briefs and a REM sleep erection fumbling with his glasses is another. The situation became entirely ludicrous.

I think these cops were fishing for stoned commie hippie drug dealers having a sordid threesome but all they caught was a face full of crazy.

It ended without resolution. The police went away without apology, nothing, and we decided it would be best to leave town and not to press the issue.
