With the name Patel surprised he didn’t try to eat the dog. Most sleazy motels are owned by Patel it seems they usually are dirty with old furniture and have a smell like incenses burning most can hardly speak English.
There is good and bad everywhere, whether the name is Patel or Jones.
I inspected a white guy at a hotel in NM who had a sign outside his hotel saying American owned and it was the filthiest, most rundown place you’d want to see. Our company pulled his flag over many issues, one of them being the American owned sign that he refused to take down.
