“Lower your expectations, and you'll be fine.”
My expectations of a Thriftlodge in NF were pretty low, which I guess is what saved me. They make you sign a waver at check in saying that you have been informed by the registration clerk of the open-air karaoke in the parking lot. I was sure he was joking, but no there is open-air karaoke in the parking lot til bars close.
The room hasn't been renovated in 30 years, and there was some sort of red stain all over the bathroom wall that I hope to god was make up. It rained, so the karaoke wasn't an issue for us.
If you're in NF to party, the location is amazing and this place doesn't take itself too seriously. The sassy old guy at the registration clearly thought this place was as ridiculous as we did. It almost adds to the NF experience, in a weird sort of way. Just make sure you know what you're getting into.
