Gateway Inn Savannah

It's a very cheap motel.i knew that,I booked it,I have stayed at a lot of cheap motels because I have to drive from Florida to Connecticut frequently.i get there & go in to pay for the room & they want to show it to me 1st before I pay because they don't give refunds.as we are walking to the room there are 2 women sitting on an outdoor staircase,1 is braiding the other's hair & in the parking lot there are a dozen children playing ages maybe 3-14.i am a middle aged white woman & the guy showing me the room is Indian & he says "it's ok they won't hurt you or mess with your vehicle" the same way someone with a pit bull would say "it's ok he won't bite you.had I not just driven from Pittsburgh to Savannah I probably would have gone off on him & told him while he was obviously a racist POS I am not.i know that cheap motels often have families there because shelters are overflowing & the state pays for them.i am white & I live part time in the south & it busts my soul that people just assume I'm a racist(too) & I am especially not afraid of women doing each others hair or children who are playing that happen to have more melatonin than I do.if they had been plaid or had multiple appendages or tentacles I might have been concerned for my safety but they were not they were children & 2 moms who I knew were in sorrowful life circumstances & having to live @ a RAT HOLE motel & while they may have a different colored exterior they are pink on the inside just like me.half of me wanted to tell the guy who also had a different complexion(Indian)how awful he was & not getting a cent out of me I would go find somewhere else & pay triple & I am disappointed in myself that I didn't but I had just driven 13 hours & was going to have @ least an 8hr drive the next day & I needed to sleep.so he shows me the room & it was "adequate"(had a bed) & the shower worked & I saw no sign of vermin & needed to sleep so paid for the room & crashed.it was about 10pm & I crashed hard.i was woken up by a knocking sound,knew there were other people & rooms & wasn't going to be bothered but it continued & I eventually realized it was someone knocking at the door so I get up & it's the older man who had been behind the counter that I had paid not the younger guy who had showed me the room & apologized for women & children being black & he has a paper in his hand & is telling me I didn't pay enough for the room & I owe more money.at first I was half asleep & confused but as I woke & looked @ the paper credit card receipt he was showing me my lifetime struggle with not having the Russian or Irish temper added to being woken up after a 13 hour drive did not manifest into me being very polite.i looked on the paper & receipt & yes there was a discrepancy.i had been charged $55 & it should have been $57 but he is trying to tell me I also owe another $12 that is OBVIOUSLY the amount that the website I booked on PAYS THEM & I honestly don't know if he is trying to rip me off or if he just doesn't understand so we argue & he wants me to just hand him my credit card & that's not going to happen so I told him I don't have any cash on me & I would get dressed & meet him back & the office to work this out.i do & go down & argue with him more because while I do technically owe $2 it is not my fault he didn't charge me right I certainly do not owe the other $ that ******* pays them & that I don't know if he is trying to pull 1 off or just an ***** but that I am absolutely fine with calling the police & letting them settle it & magically the younger(racist)guy appears & they have a discussion in Hindi & he apologizes & tells me it's ok & I don't have to pay them the $2 in my hand I do actuality owe & am ok to pay even though it's not my fault they charged me wrong & woke me up @ almost midnight instead of settling in the morning when I checked out.i doubt many have read thru this rant.if you have & you are a fellow traveler please don't give them business,if you work in social se
