cheap hotel room

 
Its got a comfortable bed
and rustic decor
but the view out my window
is a brick wall
and there's dead cockroaches
scattered across my floor

The complimentary coffee is bad
the shower's temperamental
but the walls of this room are thicc
and I can't hear anyone yelling
or fucking or playing loud music
while I'm trying to sleep

I'm glad I picked up groceries
for breakfast already
because the roach problem
isn't giving me much confidence
about their breakfast menu
and I'm not up for a side
of insect protein
first thing in the morning
(or any time really)

But the price was right
and unlike the last hotel
the receptionist isn't creepy
and I don't have to share a bathroom
with strangers

I drink my bad coffee in bed
with the air con blasting my side
because I didn't come here to socialise
on the beautiful front porch
only to be melted by the summer heat
before 8am

Its got a comfortable bed
and rustic decor
but the view out my window
is a brick wall
and there's dead cockroaches
scattered across my floor

And it's sad to say
I've spent more
to stay in worse places

Its got a comfortable bed
