Stratford Motor Inn East Ellijay

Well I've stayed here 4x in the last month after losing my place as my landlord sold his property and not been able to find a rental we can afford. I'm a disabled vet, and we decided to save cash we would camp for 4 weeks to save money. We stayed Aug 4, and paid 113$ for a below average, room, checked jn at 11 pm. We asked for a late check out but of course that wasn't possible. The room was clean but run down. We stayed again two days later, Aug 6, and my gf was getting out of the shower and held into bar installed in the shower wall. She places her left hand on the bar as she lifted her right leg to climb over the bathtub while getting out and had my brand new 5 blade shaving razor in her right hand. As she lifted her leg, the grab bar came out of the hole where it goes into the shower wall, due to faulty installation and old, causing her to slip in the bathtub after getting off balance when it disengaged. She fell backwards and slammed her head into the wall, the razor head detached from the shaver as she hit her right knee when slipping backwards, and when she landed the five blade head was under her body as she landed on it cutting her near her woman parts. We will just say if she was a boy she wouldn't have been anymore after she was cut so closely to the main artery. Blood filled the entire bottom of the tub, and several rags. She was seriously banged up and got dizzy several days after falling when she got up. There wasn't a non slip bottom in the shower or outside the tub which may have helped. We went and told the manager and he said what do you want me to do about it? He said if you come back again I'll give you a discount! Sadly since there aren't any other hotels around in the price range we came back a few days later after she began feeling a little better, and he kept his word. $20 off. Sad. The room this time didn't have a remote the tv was not working so you werrnt able to watch it at all, and the room was a d grade room. It could not be latched from inside. The AC had been off so the temperature according to my phone in the room was 95 degrees at midnight. They refused to allow us to move to a different room that was cooler bc there aren't any. I could see all the curtains open as we walked by but the insisted none were available. Last night we tried once more. It's a big deal if we can afford a real bed for the night to us, since we get off work at 12 and have to be out in less then 12 hours, and we were charged 125 this time. The room was upstairs and it was soooooooooooo unbearably hot I almost had to call an ambulance. I have an overactive thyroid and intolerance is one of the problems of having the overactive thyroid. We called the front desk and the woman was SO RUDE! She said it was too bad we could not switch she would not issue a refund and she did not care and hung up on me! The temperature was 98 degrees. The AC barely worked and it wasn't until 5 am the temperature inside was down to 94. People who take advantage of lower income to middle income families like we are, get away with this type of stuff. We let them into our country, provide jobs, and homes when so many of our own people are without, and then they take advantage of us! What's right is right, and this isn't right. And again last night

We were turned away at the door, and Bernard flat out told me he was turning me away and refusing my service due to my service dog.
