I am pretty sure that there were squatters in the abandoned rooms. Maybe they're still there at night (I decided to not enter open doorways).
The thought occurred to me that the graffiti is the motel "talking". Which is fine. However if that message echos the feeling of a female in the area (perhaps a squatter) then it's a very sad statement indeed. I don't see the photos I took as a failure. They just didn't turn out the way I thought they might. I did end up with a few individual photos which work for me, and I'm okay with that. Thanks for the comment, and thanks to everyone else who looked and commented.
