Hell on earth! My husband and I decided to go see ...

Hell on earth! My husband and I decided to go see the fireworks for New Years Eve along with our 4 year old. The next day we wanted to go to the outlets in Lancaster. We didn't have a ton of money to spend for a room we would be sleeping in for 7 hours so I opted for Price line.
We got stuck with this 1 star compound dive. We arrived at 8 pm. The 17 year old checking us in knew nothing. When we asked what restaurants close by were good he said, "I don't have a car so I don't go to many places."
We wanted to get somewhere to eat before everything shut down so we didn't unpack and check out the room. After returning late from the fireworks at the Pagoda we came back to the dive creepy compound.
There were boxes of trash outside of our building with 2 million cigarette buttes. The entryway looked like the Brady Bunch home. Our room was 800 degrees and reeked of mold. The carpet was filthy and peeling up from the floor. The furniture was dusty, the dust ruffles were ripped, as were the sheets. There was hair on the walls that had been painted over. God only knows what was on the sheets and bedspread.
I walk into the bathroom and it is old, and creepy. There is giant slab of granite drilled into the ceiling. Mold central!
We were hoping to have breakfast at the hotel/compound so we could go shopping. Oh, the restaurant was closed at 10 am. We had to drive all around finding a place that was open. Yes, we googled several but a lot of breakfast places weren't open New Years Day.
So, it gets better. Price line would not refund my money. I has first called The Inn at Reading. Chris, the manager never returned my call. Price line finally gave me the direct number to the manager of The Inn at Reading. The manager, Chris B. was cocky, obnoxious, and pretentious, and incredibly insensitive. He told me I was making things up, and that his hotel was always impeccable. No apology was given, no refund, no discounts, absolutely nothing. So, as a new family tradition, we will return to the Reading area for the New Year but we won't return to this tacky, depressing, and grotesque compound!
