Three <strong>(3) times to be exact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8212;WHY?&#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it doesn&#8217;t have the best appearance exterior wise, <strong>it&#8217;s what&#8217;s inside those rooms that&#8217;s important to Anita and me. Inside there is always a &#8220;FRESH&#8221; and &#8220;CLEAN&#8221; smell. &nbsp;&#8211;AND&#8211; although Anita and I always wipe down everything wherever we lay our heads, it is not necessary here. They take &#8220;PRIDE&#8221; in what they do.<\/strong> Things are <strong>always clean and they treat their guests with respect.<\/strong> More important, is that they <strong>recognized themselves as a hotel and they function in that lane.<\/strong> They are<strong> &#8220;NOT&#8221;<\/strong> trying to be an <strong>apartment, or any other &#8220;thought up&#8221; hotel entity. <\/strong>Therefore, everyone understands their guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita and I <strong>came to Branson with smiles on our faces<\/strong> knowing the possibilities this place has to offer the both of us in terms of <strong>retirement and enjoyment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we initially met the people <strong>who run &#8220;ELEVATE&#8221; almost 4 years ago<\/strong>, Anita and I made it clear to their staff <strong>what our plans were, and to this day our plans still remain the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita wanted to <strong>move forward with her outreach program<\/strong>, by doing so she continues helping those in need, and<strong> I have hopes of coaching a little league &#8220;WORLD SERIES&#8221; baseball team<\/strong> before I &nbsp;die. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8211;AND&#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I am going to complete that task.<\/strong> The team will derive from the community in which Anita and I find housing, real housing. It could be Forsyth, Branson, Hollister, wherever we land is the city I will be coaching in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I thought I would have been coaching this summer, but as you can tell by reading this blog, there are still many obstacles<\/strong>. So for now the <strong>&#8220;BRANSON OUTREACH WARRIORS&#8221;<\/strong> is clearing the path by encouraging and helping those in need to better themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, Anita and I wanted to send a shout out to <strong>&#8220;AMERICA&#8217;S BEST VALUE INN&#8221; for doing everything right.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe the <strong>&#8220;CITY&#8221; should &#8220;REWARD&#8221; entities like this one by giving a grant or tax deduction that would allow them to &#8220;PAINT&#8221; the exterior as I believe they would utilize the funding they receive to make this happen,&nbsp;it would also send a message that the CITY rewards those who strive to better our community appearances, and it will also bring the value up. &#8220;JUST MY THOUGHT&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>These are prideful people and this is a &nbsp;prideful hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8211;NOW CHECK THE MONEY HUSTLE OUT FROM ANOTHER LOCAL LOW END GRIPPER&#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am going to share this with you, <strong>as I feel you should know.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita went online yesterday and <strong>found a local hotel (I&#8217;m not going to mention a name because we did not reside there). However, we paid close to $300 for the room in advance. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8220;ONLINE&#8221; the rooms look &#8220;AMAZING&#8221;<\/strong> &#8211; <strong>BEAUTIFUL PHOTOS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Around <strong>3:00 p.m. we arrived at the hotel location.<\/strong> Anita and I entered the office and spoke with a young lady who actually came from an area we once resided in, Citrus Heights, CA and she lived in Roseville, CA.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We <strong>completed all necessary hard copies of paperwork and she handed us the key<\/strong>. We walked into that room, and I want you to know this; <strong>the smell and whole &#8220;ATMOSPHERE&#8221; could knock a human being to their knees. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita did take <strong>photos and it&#8217;s &#8220;UNBELIEVABLE&#8221; what they give us &#8220;PO&#8221; folks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita asked me to go in and <strong>&#8220;ask for a refund&#8221;<\/strong> as she <strong>was through<\/strong>. I proceeded back to the office and s<strong>poke kindly to the young lady.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I STATED:<\/strong> Look, I apologize but things are not like what we expected. We thought we were getting a larger room. <strong>(I did not want to tell her seriousness of the smell and filth as other guests were standing there)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SHE STATED: <\/strong>Let me check something out, I think those rooms are for <strong>&#8220;OUR LOCALS.&#8221; <\/strong>She asked me, what is wrong?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I STATED: <\/strong>The room has a very bad smell and things are just not what we thought. <strong>(I did not want to go in full detail but, I can sense that she understood.)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SHE STATED: <\/strong>&nbsp;I may have something else, because those rooms are for the locals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I STATED: <\/strong>Okay, I will go and <strong>ask Anita to come in<\/strong> so you can explain it to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A while later <strong>Anita comes out with another &#8220;room&#8221; key<\/strong>. People, <strong>I just cannot explain it <\/strong>to you. The  <strong>funk, the filth, the mold, was something no one should be living in<\/strong>. <strong>&#8220;NOT EVEN A DOG&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went back into the <strong>office and asked kindly if she would just give us a refund<\/strong>. I stated, It&#8217;s not <strong>what your&nbsp;company is showing online. &nbsp;The pictures aren&#8217;t right.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SHE STATED:<\/strong> I know, I told the owner that, this place is old that is why it smells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>&#8212;THIS IS WHEN IT GOT CRAZY &#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While seeking out other places, Anita <strong>receives a phone call<\/strong>. This call came from the <strong>&#8220;OWNER&#8221; herself, who was IN ANOTHER STATE OR COUNTRY and &#8220;ANGRY.&#8221;  Angry because we did not choose to stay at her hotel &#8220;HOLE&#8221;<\/strong>. <strong>I felt she wanted that same money we had her manager refund to us.<\/strong>  <strong>WE GAVE IT TO HER &#8220;ONLINE&#8221; LOOKIN FOR &#8220;GOLD&#8221; <\/strong>AND S<strong>HE GAVE US A HANDFUL OF &#8220;SHIT&#8221;<\/strong> AND <strong>GOT MAD BECAUSE WE DIDN&#8217;T LIKE THE SMELL<\/strong>, WHICH MEANT <strong>WE WERE &#8220;NOT&#8221; GOING TO BREAK BREAD IN THAT ROOM. NOT IN THAT SHIT HOLE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anita tried to explain to the lady that this place <strong>is NOT what is listed on the &#8220;INTERNET&#8221;;<\/strong> none of the pictures match the rooms we saw online. <strong>SO,<\/strong> <strong>Anita &#8220;SENT&#8221; her a link to &#8220;HER&#8221; THE OWNER&#8217;S  ONLINE &#8220;PHOTOS&#8221; and then sent the owner &#8220;IMAGES&#8221; Anita had taken just minutes ago of that room.<\/strong> Anita said <strong>&#8220;DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE&#8221;?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE LADY FELT WE HAD NO RIGHT TO REFUSED THAT HOLE. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WE HAVE A RIGHT TO DO THAT. WE DID IT RESPECTFULLY AND SHE IS MAD.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>That&#8217;s how they do us &#8220;PO&#8221; folks.<\/strong> &nbsp;GET THAT MONEY! &#8211; <strong>SHE, THE OWNER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HER PLACE, BUT YET SHE&#8217;S PROUD<\/strong>. It clearly shows that these low end places have a<strong> &#8220;KNACK&#8221; for setting up &#8220;PO&#8221; folks and taking the little money they have.  &#8211; FOR A SHIT HOLE.<\/strong> &#8211; Makes matter worse, is they have it <strong>&#8220;LAID&#8221; out what belongs to &#8220;LOCALS&#8221; and what belongs to guests<\/strong>.  Either way, from what I saw, <strong>both parties are getting screwed. &#8220;BIG TIME&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IT WAS AT THAT POINT ANITA SAID <strong>I&#8217;M CALLING MY PEOPLE OVER THERE AT &#8220;AMERICAS BEST VALUE INN&#8221;.
