Unfortunately for my eyes I checked and I think it’s not getting wet because it’s already wet. The way the fabric is draping/wrinkled looks how wet fabric behaves.
I'm getting the vibe that she's there alone, trying to be performative. Doncha see, it's empowering for her to treat herself to a Valentines Day getaway with her one true love....herself.
I don't even want to think about what my lobby would look like if Tess stayed here. I'm guessing the aftermath would be akin to that of a team of sports parents the night after their kids' game.People like Tess and her punters are how filthy motels get so disgusting in the first place.
That’s why I think she was driven up there by a john. When she didn’t have a date, she was all about the galentine’s shit. It is possible that she lost all her friends and couldn’t even get a few people to pretend to like Tubbers enough to invite her. But then that means that she got her Jeep fixed (or got a rental) to drive up there and back, which is a few hundred dollars to do all that.
Messy Tessy scared them away with her repellant personality and stench, and they weren't going to put up with either to hang around with a "barely-was". Especially not FOR FREE - those "rent-a-black-friends" need to get paid!
You weren't kidding. I looked it up on Google maps and even though they have trees to block the view, it really is right next to a gas station.
For contrast to Tess' content, here is a minor influencer's video on the Inn. You can see the doorframe has works on it and looks grubby even in the thumbnail.
Ah! Thank you for this!! Ugh what a tatty dump.
I bet Tess suggested it, men tend to not care for these kinds of tourists traps.
You just know she insisted upon it, in part so she could get pics of herself there after a long dry spell. And, let's be honest, she's a perfect match for the Madonna Inn's aesthetic, even if not in the way she likes to imagine—it's tacky, trashy, dated, and showing obvious signs of wear and tear, just like her.
PL: I'm a maximalist. This isn't maximalism; it's just tacky shit. It's a motel playing at being a cheesy mid-century theme park, using cheap, ugly things that look like they reek of mildew and mothballs.
Why are there two sinks in that bathroom?
Tess takes her cake johns here not only for thr cakes, but because the musty smell hides her own yeasty aroma
Management is signing off on this shit. I've worked at hotels with terrible management. My first hotel could've had its own reality show for how much of a clusterfuck things were behind the scenes and even they would fire housekeeping for doing this horribly. While job hunting, I passed over a housekeeping job offer because they didn't want an interview and just asked when I could start. That's the kind of management that would let this shit slide.
Don Q Inn really should be on her list of fartin' spots. It's every bit as trashy and looks like Liberace dropped a watery sperm sample in every fantasuite!
Just imagine hearing her babbling about nothing for the drive to and from SLO out of Long Beach. It’d be on overdrive since she’s traveling to her Mecca for the first time in several years.
