How dare you trash that room, stain the mattress, add black mold to the bathroom, and infest the beds with bedbugs!!! All within 15 minutes!!! Shame on you for blackmailing that man!!

I'm glad there was "swift justice" but you always could dispute the charge on your credit card, in the event something like this happens again. They reverse the charge while they investigate, so you get your refund right away. That disgusting video is enough evidence for your credit card company to grant the dispute in your favor.
Exactly, since he has video evidence of the deplorable state of the room and attempting to work it out with the owner of the property (by showing said problems, refusing lodging, and requesting a refund) A credit card charge dispute should easily be won in his favor.
That definitely sounds like a positive response. Sure, if your other independent operators "woo" and "excite" us we'll letcha know...those with bloody mattresses, mold, bedbugs, thieving owners and world-class disgust will be put on notice. Hope you were properly compensated Dan.
Ugh! Dan, if you guys are ever in this area again and need a place to crash, please hit me up! You can stay at my house for free. I'll even throw in breakfast. That bloody mattress will haunt my dreams.. So vile. But not as vile as the owner.
Looked the place up on google and indeed there was a stabbing that took place here in 2014, over a drug deal gone bad.... looks like lucky you, got the same room! The manager is right though, nobody died :D Love how they just flip the mattresss over and keep on truckin'WOW WTF???
I looked up the article on the stabbing and it seems like the guy was attacked upon entering the room, so it's not terribly likely that it would've gotten on the bed like that (though not impossible). Either way, it really underscores how seedy and dangerous the surrounding area is.
"Nobody's died" A man stabbed his mother 48 times, a victim identified from fatal shooting, men died after gunfight inside the hotel, and a woman was found dead in the hotel room. Me: .........Riiiiight....

I believe the stabbing may have been the Country Hearth Inn and Suites in Chattanooga, TN. ua-cam.com/video/GkT7e20uJ7Q/v-deo.html But for the South Carolina motel it's extremely ironic how the manager's friend kept mentioning how the family was "afraid to go to the bank." Nothing has changed in the reviews of this place four years later, and ironically the management responds to all the reviews stating how they cleaned up their act.
JohnACorp782 Just because someone has a Japanese name in America doesn't make them Asian or not American. Just because someone has a Hispanic sounding name doesn't make them Hispanic or not American. But since you're a tool I can see why you dont know this. Time to learn then baby ;)
Don't worry Dan. In a few years, you'll be touring that motel after it has been abandoned. Then you'll have something to film for your main channel. :)
This location has been permanently shut down. The same GM (owner) is running the Days Inn in the same town. Guess you need to check on this location next!
Be sure to put a full review on Tripadvisor and Yelp. The bloody mattress was bad enough, but black mold and bed bugs are a health hazard. People like that don't care about their customer's well being. There is glass or plexiglass separating customers from the registration area. Reputable hotels/motels don't have that. The video the motel put online for this motel is false advertising. The health department should be notified about this motel.
Dan, my wife and I attended a wedding at the Country Hearth in 2009 I believe, 7 years before your video. On our mattress we found a piece of human poop the size of a shirt button!
You guys were probably better off staying in one of the abandoned Motels that y'all have visited than that one. I love how he tried to blame the stain on you guys. I bet that lock was broken whenever the murder occurred on that bed. ;-) Maybe from now on ask to see the rooms before you ever pay a dime.
This is what I was thinking. Probably someone expired in there and bled out. They police probably had to bust the door open. Owner flips the mattress and expects me to sleep on it.
+RedEyes still pretty gross, they should've thrown that mattress away, and you know they knew it was stained that's why there turned it around so other motel guests wouldn't notice it . How gross
Send the video to the health department and request immediate action be taken. This place needs a lot of work and money. Mold, bugs, filth, and most likely rodents. Unsanitary conditions. Close them down until every problem is fixed, like new mattresses. What a creep!
Next time you visit Greenville be sure to check out the abandoned motel called Country Hearth motel. As i think it will be closed very soon looking at the state of the rooms.
It was. He bought into the partnership in 2013. He also runs/is a partner with Motel 6s in Atlanta, GA. The motel 6 here on Wade Hampton Blvd(Greenville) is just as bad. And it's been recently remodeled!!
Dan, I hope you filed a credit card dispute. Edit: Nevermind, you did. Also, I posted this video to Greenville County's Health Inspection Dept's FB. Hopefully they'll see and act on it.
Haha how is it physically possible for you guys to create the mold and blood stain from only being in there for that short amount of time! You were so much calmer thank I would have been, kudos to you. Glad you got it all on camera and glad you got out of there!
We live in Greenville and are going to ride down there to see if it's been closed down or improved. Not touching anything tho. If not, we WILL call the Health Dept. What a shame. Greenville SC is a beautiful place to live and/or visit. Coincidentally, 1st saw this motel on a LIVE PD segment. To our shock, dismay and amazement, found your UA-cam video! Thanks guys!
Wow! What an absolutely horrible manager. He did not even acknowledge the problems you found. I would be embarrassed to manage a motel in that condition. A motel should be clean, regardless of the rate.
Someone else mentioned that the mattresses were Motel6 mattresses, well the bedspreads were Motel6 bedspreads as well. I've stayed in Motel6's before that had that same pattern on the bedspreads. At one point when Will is about to pull the bedspread on the second bed you can see the Motel6 logo in the pattern on it. I'm willing to bet that this motel flipped to Country Hearth from Motel6 because it wasn't being kept up to motel6's standards and they pulled their franchise from the owner so he had to re-brand the hotel to a chain with lower standards. I'd send a link to this video to a local TV station and see if they get on this guys case.
I did some research and this place appears to have been a Motel6 up until July of 2016. Lots of bad reviews complaining of dirty rooms, roaches, bedbugs etc going back several years. One review said they were going to complain to Motel6 corporate about the conditions there, I bet they weren't the only ones who did.
I am betting that the owner got the mattresses and bedding second hand after Motel 6 got rid of it. I have seen furniture and lamps (bought myself one of those neat desk lamps with the outlets on the base for 3 bucks) for sale at various re-stores, etc.If this guy is as big a cheapass as he seems to be, he might have gotten it out of the discard pile.
Dan Bell and Will, you are missing your calling! You should tour the country as crusading motel inspectors! I'm certain that the citizens of this country would thank you for your valiant efforts if it helps to raise the standards of the industry, and that travelers could be assured of a sanitary, safe, and bugless environment whenever they have to stay at a motel or hotel. You two are really doing a great public service! (Not only should the health inspectors close down that place, but they should lift that snotty manager's green card and send him back home. He should abide by American health standards; not those of his native land, wherever that is...)
"Another Dirty Room" is fast becoming one of my new faves. Dan Bells new channel. Hehe But truly disgusting and disturbing. This will certainly make me "check" my room before agreeing to stay in hotels in the future.
Fans of UA-cam channel "suspicious0bservers" bought an RV for his cross-country video adventures, so yeah why not a fleet of them for Dan Bell & his photojournalist field team?
you know us Dan. very loyal watchers and followers. one of your videos got me into watching the abandoned videos. I'm grateful for you and what you do. Always loved abandoned places. Just can't visit them myself. Your quality videos bring me right there to the places. I know small man crush. Thank you for what you do.
So, when I saw this motel was in Greenville, SC I just had to watch, as I live in Charlotte, NC. I made the mistake of watching this in bed next to my sleeping husband. I was able to stay quiet, until Dan runs the actual real commercial, advertising this motel's close proximity to many fun family activities/places. Then he hilariously edits in a large, "flying bed bug" to the bland, simple, motel commercial, & I start CRYING LAUGHING FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!! Thanks for the laughs DAN BELL, I LOVE YOU!! Signed, Your Friend, Still Laughing Peyton P.S.: It was totally worth waking my hubby up laughing!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
For further exposure I think I will share this! Dan- maybe you should call the local health department, and maybe he'll get closed down till the place is decent. That bed was horrific!!
Pro Tip: Always pay with a credit card. When crap like this happens, and the guy wants to charge you for the first night, you immediately contest it through your credit card company. I work front desk at a motel, and they credit card companies will get your money back 97% to 98% of the time. Next, burn him on Tripadvisor and Yelp to warn other people.
I'm conflicted. I don't want you to suffer but I really enjoy these types of videos. It's like you have a consumer advocacy sub-channel. Thanks for exposing this guy.
Oh my god... He actually had the audacity to whip out his phone and TRY to blame everything in that room on you? XD Just wait till the health dept. gets ahold of that place... If one room looks like that, I can only imagine what secrets the rest of them hold...
I think the advertisements help Dan? I will only visit the advertisers, that play before his videos. Or Will K's videos. I have the Goldilocks mattress ad memorized. I watch the ad for Love and Friendship, even though I have seen the movie. Except now, I need a new mattress, a new car and a case of Michelob Ultra! 😂
They are more than welcome to buy a Hotel. They also won't make it a shit house like this ass hole did. Since his license has been suspended. I wonder how he is going to market this place. I commented earlier. He was out of a job. I forgot he owns the roach Motel. Were you can check out you just can't get a refund. We need to keep the view and like counts high on this video. Making it easier to find in the search engine. Mr. P is still going to try to make money. As a group we can stop him.
I don't know how these people get away with that crap. I am so glad you got video of his greedy ass for the world to see. I hope he never makes another dime.
How disgusting. 😳. I would have called the police anyway because after the police see the room - there was NO WAY they would allow him to charge your room. I would also would have had Will video tape the police reaction when you flip the mattress. I hope you got your money back. SHAME ON HIM!😡👎🏼😖
The cockroach/bedbug that sort of danced across the screen at 2:47 had me laughing pretty hard. Sorry you guys had to deal with more terrible motel rooms. Another viewer recommended getting an RV, and I think that would be an ideal solution, should you be able to swing it. Regardless, I wish you both the best. Good luck out there!
I especially liked the way Dan and Will cunningly rented the room six months before, sacrificed a small furry animal on the bed, infected it with their hand-reared, intensively trained bedbugs and then painted the bathroom with a light coating of Aunt Jemima Maple Syrup to really get that black mold growing, pausing only to smash the microwave and the door latch with an aluminum baseball bat on the way out. All to come back later and attempt to defraud a bald Asian to the tune of $89.98. Some lowlifes will do anything to get free wi-fi. I'd stick to Baltimore crack-houses in future; you meet a better class of person there.
Bed bugs, suspicious stains, urine behind the toilet, black mold... That room (and I suspect all of them) are a health hazard and can be shut down, easily. Call the health department, ASAP.
The thought of going through what you men had to deal with absolutely sickens me, as a frequent hotel guest I will now be carefully checking my room before staying anywhere besides my own bed.
One thing I highly suggest doing is reading reviews before committing to staying. I just took a look at the reviews of this place and this particular hotel has a long history of extra charges on credit cards, blood stains, and bugs. Be safe out there and glad it went in your favor!
I also found it comical he filmed you and said you stained the mattress. As if you sliced yourself open and bled out on the mattress yourself and still manage to walk around without visible injuries or, you know, down and out due to blood loss. I hope this place gets shut down.
You can clearly see the imprint of a head in the blood stain. So...maybe this person didn't die but had a serious injury at his/her head and came close to dying...
***** I don't think so. Maybe someone was murdered, but the broken lock lets me guess that the police broke into the room because the guest didn't answer after calling him/her. The motel owner flipped the matress, because he didn't want to buy a new one.
Oh, I just remembered. My son stayed at a Day's Inn 2 blocks from the Alamo in downtown San Antonio. First of all they tried to rip him off for a safe use charge. For some reason there was a little safe in the room, which he thought strange, but had no need of, so didn't use it. Then they tried to charge him $10 a day for parking, but he didn't even have a car with him. He contested all of that and won, but after his stay he learned that 2 rooms on the second floor, not that far from where his room had been, exploded because people were running a meth lab in the motel; so he actually considers himself kind of lucky since the motel didn't explode and catch fire while he was there.
That is atrociously disgusting and should not be allowed for people to be within several dozen feet. Dan, seriously, I'd call the Greenville Dept of Health and Safety as well as the local Better Business Bureau and tell/show them of your experience. This guy does not need to be selling these disgusting rooms to people, even for that little money. Best of luck to you guy, and looking forward to future videos~
You know... when I travel, I certainly carry around cases of bed bugs, quick drying blood substitute and quick growing black mold spores so that I can plant them in rooms and blackmail innocent motel owners into giving me a refund... for no other purpose than just giving me a refund?
The guy who was in charge should be ashamed of himself. That room was not fit for human habitation. There may be places like that here in the UK, but I can't swear to that!
Good grief what a disgusting place! The motel owner really complicated the situation for everybody by being a stubborn jack a** and not refunding the money. It's going to cost him a lot more now than one little refund would have. Good job on exposing this place Dan. Keep up the good work.
I gave him a call and asked if the room are clean and free of mold, keep him on the line about 5 min, when I said my friend Dan Bell, he hung up on my LOL
Don't know why in the world you should have any thumbs down. So another hotel/motel is exposed and you have every right to get ALL of your moey. Hey Dan, I think you have another job in between all of the other great videos you do. You can call it, "Mommy, Why Do I Have These Bugs on my Cooter After Sleeping # The Country Hearth Inn".
I just laughed way too hard at the end of this. I no doubt would have been flaming mad at the end, had I have been in your shoes, but I love how you handled it!!!
Also, at that point, I just call my credit card company and tell them I'm disputing the charges. They're usually pretty good at listening, agreeing and fighting on your behalf. It doesn't look good on a company if there is a formal dispute through a credit agency.
Damn period stains 😂. Honestly though, thats disgusting. I see so many of these places dont even use pillow, duvet and mattress protectors!! If a place doesn't have those then stay clear. I love that the guy tried to shame them for not making the beds properly!
Dan what you should do in the future is have a separate credit card for these issues. If the owner is non compliant for issuing a refund, simply call the credit card company and let them know you want to cancel the account. When the owner goes to reconcile the debit machine your payment will likely not go through... Great video and good luck out there!
UPDATE : Vantage Hospitality Group has issued a refund. Thank you!
great but are they going to take any action on the filthy motel?
I hope you report this to the health department
Awesome!
that f up
Awesome! We got your back Dan...except when vagrants or drug dealers bump into you while you're filming a video. Viva la Dan!
How dare you trash that room, stain the mattress, add black mold to the bathroom, and infest the beds with bedbugs!!! All within 15 minutes!!! Shame on you for blackmailing that man!!
He EVEN stickied-up the door.... What a bastard
Thats just a regular Friday Night for Dan and his boys (rick)
LOL
I read That in his accent 😂
Dan even dragged in his trusty steed into the hallowed inn and pleasured it til climax on the floor.
Call the health department. Shut it down. Then you can video tape it when it becomes abandoned.

Glad to hear they did the right thing. I just checked theCountry Hearth Inn website and Greenville is not listed.
Dude got what was coming to him. He's lost business over pure greed and no doubt will be shut down. Thanks for the warning guys.
He dropped his facebook page, he also got suspended from the Country hearth hotel chain.
good its a shithole
So country Hearth is a Hotel chain? I never heard of it. I am sure they won't leave the light on for you
Source proving he got suspended?
He's still here. Same name. Still open.
Wow cool. Go Dan. Changing the entire substandard hotel community one dirty room at a time!!!
Ugh! Dan, if you guys are ever in this area again and need a place to crash, please hit me up! You can stay at my house for free. I'll even throw in breakfast. That bloody mattress will haunt my dreams.. So vile. But not as vile as the owner.

Oh my God the bed bug crawling across the advertisement had me cracking up. Classic Dan Bell.
I would have done the same. Call the BBB and make a formal complaint. We appreciate all you and Will do for us. Keep up the great work!
this is the first time I've seen Dan pissed
I'm surprised the guy was smart enough to flip the phone sideways while filming Dan.

Fans of UA-cam channel "suspicious0bservers" bought an RV for his cross-country video adventures, so yeah why not a fleet of them for Dan Bell & his photojournalist field team?
Jason Miller Not only that but airstreams are extremely heavy! You need a Diesel or very strong gas truck to pull them!
you know us Dan. very loyal watchers and followers. one of your videos got me into watching the abandoned videos. I'm grateful for you and what you do. Always loved abandoned places. Just can't visit them myself. Your quality videos bring me right there to the places. I know small man crush. Thank you for what you do.
I'm pretty sure that the owner is really just a giant cluster of bed bugs pretending to be a human.
So, when I saw this motel was in Greenville, SC I just had to watch, as I live in Charlotte, NC. I made the mistake of watching this in bed next to my sleeping husband. I was able to stay quiet, until Dan runs the actual real commercial, advertising this motel's close proximity to many fun family activities/places. Then he hilariously edits in a large, "flying bed bug" to the bland, simple, motel commercial, & I start CRYING LAUGHING FOR 5 MINUTES STRAIGHT!!! Thanks for the laughs DAN BELL, I LOVE YOU!!
Signed,
Your Friend, Still Laughing Peyton P.S.: It was totally worth waking my hubby up laughing!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Here’s what you say to the owner at the time he refuses to refund; “I’m calling the health department right now”. He’ll change his tune.
Always carefully lift the blankets and sheets off and check for hypodermic needles. Especially in cheap hotels.
For further exposure I think I will share this! Dan- maybe you should call the local health department, and maybe he'll get closed down till the place is decent. That bed was horrific!!
I like the touch you put on that commercial with the bug crawling all over the screen, that was funny
Pro Tip: Always pay with a credit card. When crap like this happens, and the guy wants to charge you for the first night, you immediately contest it through your credit card company. I work front desk at a motel, and they credit card companies will get your money back 97% to 98% of the time.
Next, burn him on Tripadvisor and Yelp to warn other people.
I'm conflicted. I don't want you to suffer but I really enjoy these types of videos. It's like you have a consumer advocacy sub-channel. Thanks for exposing this guy.
Wow, makes me want to double check my hotel rooms,,,,,,oh,,,, the wall with black mold was enough to call the authorities......
Oh my god... He actually had the audacity to whip out his phone and TRY to blame everything in that room on you? XD Just wait till the health dept. gets ahold of that place... If one room looks like that, I can only imagine what secrets the rest of them hold...
Is it a coincidence that I got a mattress advert before watching this?
I got it, too.
You can turn that off and delete that part of google. I rarely get advertisements.
I think the advertisements help Dan? I will only visit the advertisers, that play before his videos. Or Will K's videos.
I have the Goldilocks mattress ad memorized. I watch the ad for Love and Friendship, even though I have seen the movie.
Except now, I need a new mattress, a new car and a case of Michelob Ultra! 😂
I love how you didn't even mention that it looks like blood and the first thing he says is o nobody died here uh not sketchy at all lol
Oooh this hotel owner makes me mad
Ditto what a fucker
+backup account Exactly lol.
Slappy Fistwad ...And then they would be charged for trashing the room.
They are more than welcome to buy a Hotel. They also won't make it a shit house like this ass hole did. Since his license has been suspended. I wonder how he is going to market this place. I commented earlier. He was out of a job. I forgot he owns the roach Motel. Were you can check out you just can't get a refund. We need to keep the view and like counts high on this video. Making it easier to find in the search engine. Mr. P is still going to try to make money. As a group we can stop him.
Your comment flows a smooth as a fine wine.
I don't know how these people get away with that crap. I am so glad you got video of his greedy ass for the world to see. I hope he never makes another dime.
This could be a new thing for Dan and Will. Stay at motels/hotels and give the truth about them! That would be awesome!
I thought it was illegal to leave the bloody mattress.
damn,...and I mean that is not just a little blood....
+Jeanna Storm ikr dude thats alot of blood. If I had bleed as much as that then I would have died.
Stephanie Williams nah, the law states they just have to flip the mattress over - good as new!
Hahaha
How disgusting. 😳. I would have called the police anyway because after the police see the room - there was NO WAY they would allow him to charge your room. I would also would have had Will video tape the police reaction when you flip the mattress. I hope you got your money back. SHAME ON HIM!😡👎🏼😖
This has happened to multiple people I saw on the Google reviews! Someone needs to call the health dept because this is a serious issue!
You can tell how bad it is because they aren't even laughing about how bad it is. Shit got serious. That owner is a crook.
The cockroach/bedbug that sort of danced across the screen at 2:47 had me laughing pretty hard. Sorry you guys had to deal with more terrible motel rooms. Another viewer recommended getting an RV, and I think that would be an ideal solution, should you be able to swing it. Regardless, I wish you both the best. Good luck out there!
I'd have grabbed my stuff and got out fast so I didn't pick up any of those bed bugs.
We don’t take any belongings in until the beds pass the cleanliness test. The “Country Hearth” failed on all counts.
+Dan Bell / Film It, You've been hit by, you've been struck by a Indian Scammer.
+Annastasia how do you take a bath
***** oh okay! Now I get it 😄
Great footage. It shows that abandoned place's actually isn't the worst choice to crash in😂
I love it when Dan exposes these dirty motels!👍 😊😂
I especially liked the way Dan and Will cunningly rented the room six months before, sacrificed a small furry animal on the bed, infected it with their hand-reared, intensively trained bedbugs and then painted the bathroom with a light coating of Aunt Jemima Maple Syrup to really get that black mold growing, pausing only to smash the microwave and the door latch with an aluminum baseball bat on the way out. All to come back later and attempt to defraud a bald Asian to the tune of $89.98. Some lowlifes will do anything to get free wi-fi.
I'd stick to Baltimore crack-houses in future; you meet a better class of person there.
Bed bugs, suspicious stains, urine behind the toilet, black mold... That room (and I suspect all of them) are a health hazard and can be shut down, easily. Call the health department, ASAP.
hey Dan, i forwarded this video to the nbc news station in Greenville...this is BS!
The thought of going through what you men had to deal with absolutely sickens me, as a frequent hotel guest I will now be carefully checking my room before staying anywhere besides my own bed.
One thing I highly suggest doing is reading reviews before committing to staying. I just took a look at the reviews of this place and this particular hotel has a long history of extra charges on credit cards, blood stains, and bugs.
Be safe out there and glad it went in your favor!
I also found it comical he filmed you and said you stained the mattress. As if you sliced yourself open and bled out on the mattress yourself and still manage to walk around without visible injuries or, you know, down and out due to blood loss. I hope this place gets shut down.
Next year go back when its abandoned
Amazing the power an individual can have when he has a youtube channel with a large amount of followers. Must be nice to have that power.
I hope he didn't get any of your money! Absolutely disgusting room. "Nobody died" As if that makes the giant blood stain better.
You can clearly see the imprint of a head in the blood stain. So...maybe this person didn't die but had a serious injury at his/her head and came close to dying...
+SharonVinyard that literally doesn't make it any better XD.
The Scots Review It doesn't? ;) xD
Looks like one of my coffee stains.
The one time I forgot to pack bleach.
***** I don't think so. Maybe someone was murdered, but the broken lock lets me guess that the police broke into the room because the guest didn't answer after calling him/her.
The motel owner flipped the matress, because he didn't want to buy a new one.
Outrageous!... Some people. You did the right thing Dan
Sheesh, I will never stay at that hotel. Thank you for the video.
Oh, I just remembered. My son stayed at a Day's Inn 2 blocks from the Alamo in downtown San Antonio. First of all they tried to rip him off for a safe use charge. For some reason there was a little safe in the room, which he thought strange, but had no need of, so didn't use it. Then they tried to charge him $10 a day for parking, but he didn't even have a car with him. He contested all of that and won, but after his stay he learned that 2 rooms on the second floor, not that far from where his room had been, exploded because people were running a meth lab in the motel; so he actually considers himself kind of lucky since the motel didn't explode and catch fire while he was there.
That is atrociously disgusting and should not be allowed for people to be within several dozen feet. Dan, seriously, I'd call the Greenville Dept of Health and Safety as well as the local Better Business Bureau and tell/show them of your experience. This guy does not need to be selling these disgusting rooms to people, even for that little money. Best of luck to you guy, and looking forward to future videos~
You know... when I travel, I certainly carry around cases of bed bugs, quick drying blood substitute and quick growing black mold spores so that I can plant them in rooms and blackmail innocent motel owners into giving me a refund... for no other purpose than just giving me a refund?
dis customer has stained de room....and wrecked de room...and now trying to do blackmail to me...... AHAHAHA!!! XD
A whole new meaning to BYOB Bring Your Own Bedbug 😂😂😂 what a dump!! So glad you posted his info guys!!!
"A land blessed by nature." Hahahaha sure is! If bed bugs and drain flies are your idea of a blessing...
The guy who was in charge should be ashamed of himself. That room was not fit for human habitation. There may be places like that here in the UK, but I can't swear to that!
omg!! Im so sorry Dan and Will.You were much more composed than i would've been.I live your videos..keep up the great work!!👍👍
My jaw literally dropped when Will flipped the mattress to reveal the underside. That is absolutely fucking horrible.
Good grief what a disgusting place! The motel owner really complicated the situation for everybody by being a stubborn jack a** and not refunding the money. It's going to cost him a lot more now than one little refund would have. Good job on exposing this place Dan. Keep up the good work.
That bloody mattress is horrific! That man is vile!
I gave him a call and asked if the room are clean and free of mold, keep him on the line about 5 min, when I said my friend Dan Bell, he hung up on my LOL
Got that dude by the short hairs! Awesome job Dan!
I guarantee that guy is involved with a lot of illegal, shady stuff at that hotel.
I would be sending this video to the health department in SC if I were you, Dan.
That owner had no idea of the crap storm that fell on him. Bet he wishes he had done things right now. I bet His whole family are his only employees.
The condition of that room is completely unacceptable even for a budget motel.
Don't know why in the world you should have any thumbs down. So another hotel/motel is exposed and you have every right to get ALL of your moey. Hey Dan, I think you have another job in between all of the other great videos you do. You can call it, "Mommy, Why Do I Have These Bugs on my Cooter After Sleeping # The Country Hearth Inn".
😂😂😂
Might be viewers being empathetic to the vloggers and thumbing down with disgust to their awful situation.
I just laughed way too hard at the end of this. I no doubt would have been flaming mad at the end, had I have been in your shoes, but I love how you handled it!!!
Also, at that point, I just call my credit card company and tell them I'm disputing the charges. They're usually pretty good at listening, agreeing and fighting on your behalf. It doesn't look good on a company if there is a formal dispute through a credit agency.
i love u Dan london
Damn period stains 😂.
Honestly though, thats disgusting. I see so many of these places dont even use pillow, duvet and mattress protectors!! If a place doesn't have those then stay clear.
I love that the guy tried to shame them for not making the beds properly!
Dan what you should do in the future is have a separate credit card for these issues. If the owner is non compliant for issuing a refund, simply call the credit card company and let them know you want to cancel the account. When the owner goes to reconcile the debit machine your payment will likely not go through... Great video and good luck out there!
Love your videos man!! Awesome job!!!(: that's a long drive from Baltimore to South Carolina and then arriving at this place Lolol I'm sorry man
