8.0
In the Beginning it was ok, then we found out how Intrusive The Owners are. No Smoking in the Rooms, for 85.00 a night, plus a Key deposit. I damn well better be able to Smoke. Then They Sneak around your Room to see if you are. Totally out of Place, this is the USA, we have Rights here. This is not Acceptable, you should be Sued. The Privacy Act, in case your not clear. 1 of many rights guaranteed here, oh yeah, They don't apply to Us. You know who we mean. And you will be Seeing Me again. Be very careful, you may be entertaining your Next Boss. Get it together. Social media is Truly the Answer, be kind, because you may never know, who's gonna be Renting your Room.
