That was the one word text response I received back, from my friend Angie, in regards to a local Jasper, IN motel called The Camelot Inn. (Ang is from Jasper)
"How shady???" I asked
"call me"
So I called and explained to her that Katie Jean had snagged 4 free passes to Holiday Word Splash-N-Safari and we had thought we could fly by the seat of our pants and just stop at any old hotel on the drive down....we seriously misjudged the popularity of this water park! Every hotel within a 30 mile radius was booked solid.
Except for that is, The Camelot Inn. Which by the way as "luck" would have it, did NOT have a website nor were there any customer reviews on any travel websites.....aka: not a good sign
After a convo with Ang, we decided what the hell let's do it.
I present:
The Camelot Inn
If The Camelot Inn isn't classy (complete with knight in shining armor logo), then I don't know what is!
A"Psycho"-ish old car parked in front welcomed us to the main office/check-in. Now all we needed was a murder in the shower.....
Room 354....notice the cozy adirondack chair by the screen door. SO INVITING!
We felt it entirely necessary to drink our tasty wine out of plastic glasses, while sitting on the sexy leopard print beds.
You stay classy Camelot Inn.
(note: we packed blankets and pillows to sleep on top of the covers if need be...however upon further inspection of the beds, the sheets were Snuggle fresh. Seriously, they smelled like Grandma had just popped them out of the dryer!)
No hotel,with a knight in shining armor logo, would be complete without a completely drained dilapidated swimming pool.
Anyone for a dip???
or perhaps a turn down the slide???
All in all, our stay at The Camelot Inn proved to be pretty silly. The trip to Holiday World Splash-N-Safari turned out to be a whole lot of crazy....lost contact lens, public urination (not by us), interesting swimsuit choices (not ours) and whip-lash.
more on that to come!
(must get the pics from my water proof camera developed first)

Place looks haunted! lol But nothing a little wine in plastic cups can't cure!
WOW! I didn't think it was possible, but the pictures almost make it look worse than it really was. I had a blast and I'm so glad we stayed at the wonderful Camelot Inn...I know the next time I visit Jasper, that's where I'm staying!!!!!! Can't wait for the underwater shots!
Oh my word! What a place!!! Sometimes less-than-ideal situations like staying at the Camelot make for the most fun!

That is too funny.
