--------
NEOLODGE - Stuck choosing between Cockroach Towers and Astrovilla (like that's
hard), or falling for Presidential Palace? (but then again The Grand Neopian is
a bargain!) If you're going out of your way to choose a hotel, then read this
guide!
COCKROACH TOWERS (5 NP) This hotel…uh…place to stay is a dingy, deserted tower
with dark, empty corridors, leading to dusty little dungeons, with a rock bed,
dung bedside table and no lighting except for a little barred window with no
glass and the large crack between the door, which is nearly falling off its
hinges. It is infested with roaches. The floors are cold hard stone just like
the walls and the roof. No electricity or hot water. Some past guests believe
that the rooms are haunted.
RESTAURANT: Small, squashy room, infested with flies, old food sometimes a
dead cockroach or two accidentally put inside. Food is served from 11am-3pm
BURGER BAR: Burgers are old pieces of food from the restaurant all mashed together!

dented bike.

to 2 days to be delivered.
MAID SERVICE: Ugly Usukis with no manners, and no skill in cleaning. EN-SUITE
BATHROOM: Hole in the ground to go to the toilet on and no where to wash your
hands. No shower or bath.
JACUZZI/SPA: 12km walk to the nearest hot spring and it’s not even that hot.

FLEAPIT MOTEL (10 NP) Not much better than Cockroach Towers, Fleapit is located
in a derelict office building, the floors is just moth-eaten carpet. Each room
consists of a straw bed with a matching table, candles for lights. A small wooden
wardrobe is inside each room, too. The lighting on the wooden roof is a flickering
flea-repellant light that hardly lights up the room.
