    Well start orientation tomorrow. The roommate I have talks a big game and is one of the stranger guys I've met but nice. Still scared to leave my stuff in the room with him tho. Now the hotel, man this place is a dump floors covered in crumbs, not sure if bed bugs or just more crumbs in the bedding. Glad I should only have to be here for a few nights.

    I would take that as a direct reflection of who you are about to work for and how you'll be continuously treated by the new company. Run like hell!

    Call the motel office and politely ask if there is another room available. Maybe a room just for yourself. All they can say is no.

    The ones who talk a "Big Game" generally don't back it up.

    Stay humble.

    Even if they did have a vacant room its highly unlikely the motel has a say so over it.The purpose for two ppl in the same room is to save the company money.OP needs to talk to his employer.
