I stayed in a hotel in Lake Charles, LA once with my (then) husband and after dark it became obvious that the place was, rather than a place for weary travelers, a center for drug and prostitute activity. It was a one-story establishment in the shape of a horseshoe and we could see people walking back and forth between the rooms all night long. At one point someone knocked on our door and we stayed up petrified, peering out the window for the rest of the night. Not fun.
