Thanksgiving Vacay/Staycay
Since my car was on crutches, I was stuck way up north, and shops are closed the entire 4-day weekend, I thought I’d had enuf of the stress, and gave myself a holiday from the road.
Since the nearest hostel was over 70 miles south, I searched for the cheapest and nearest motel. There were plenty, thank goodness!
Fun fact; Motel6 is called Motel6 because it used to be $6 a night.
Now it’s pricier than most motels, so I continued searching.
Found several that weren’t advertised, only took reservations by phone. Before I reserved, I did one last search. Reviews. The prices went up a bit.
Hmmm. Most reviews were okay, not the greatest, but definitely expected for the prices.
I was okay with smoking, coffee stains, no towels, fine.
Then I filtered them down to one word. Bugs. Oops, there were plenty. And pics. Not good. As I continued searching, the prices went up of course.
And here I am, not one single b review. And it’s true to form.
Clean, hot water, cable TV, plush bedding, not 1 stain, I looked everywhere, not one stain anywhere!
Oh, and hot and cold continental breakfast. Yes! I immediately became a member, got a tiny discount, and am dug in for the week.
I must say to the customers on my route, you’re the best. Have an awesome holiday, I’ll keep posting here…
