note the extended stay America card on the table
I think that was a couple motels ago however. That is, if we can believe his story. He could be back at an Extended Stay America for all we know; some have speculated he was only ever at one for a night. I myself believe that the Steinbergs lived at an Extended Stay America for a time since a user on Twitter was at the same motel and commented how Gene was demanding about getting his room cleaned, while simultaneously not complying with the rules to allow the staff to clean it. He also noted Gene had said there was no public transportation around he could use when in fact there was a bus stop right by the motel. The person found Gene so obnoxious when overhearing him dealing with the motel staff that he Googled him and found @SchemeGeneRC. Anyway if memory serves it was the Extended Stay America that Gene got thrown out of after Teddy Bear barked at a guest.
The advantages of an Extended Stay America in his situation is I think they have breakfast included for you, plus you have a little kitchenette in your room (which the Steinbergs may not use). As the name implies it's very much set up for people to be staying there for a month or more. I'm sure there are cheaper options however, but one would lose amenities. Gene seems borderline innumerate so he may well now be back at one instead of opting for a cheaper place.
Some speculate he is staying by himself in a motel, or actually staying with his sister-in-law, or has an apartment already... who knows. I tend to accept the broad outlines of his whining begging emails but find the details usually don't add up. And I am confident he exaggerates a good deal, and flat out lies regularly (whether or not he himself believes the lies...?). I can't really insist he is telling the truth about anything, of course. Who could?
