I would really enjoy a break away too, and soon I'll be heading south to Alabama for a visit with family again, I can't wait.

I'v...I got such a kick out of this post, Sage! I've stayed in so many hotels over the years, from the good, bad, ugly, and funky! You certainly brought up many memories for me. I'm glad that you survived Tropical Storm Hermine relatively unscathed, and I hope that your daughter has had a great start to her university year.<br /><br />This hotel immediately reminded me of the historic Occidental Hotel in Buffalo, Wyoming. Terry and I didn't stay there, but we explored it thoroughly. We even ended up eating breakfast in the saloon with a friendly bartender ~ but one with a revolver holstered on his side. I don't remember what the revolver was ~ I was so shocked to see a cowboy bartended openly carrying a handgun.<br /><br />I'm not a fan of cookie cutter hotels either, although they can be a welcome sight in the empty west! Hope your life slows down a little - I'm stuck in a frantic pace too. Take care! <br /><br /> Fundy Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02132147630106183853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-42839732151052511392016-09-08T04:34:31.657-04:002016-09-08T04:34:31.657-04:00sorry to hear about the hurricane

I've preferred places that invest in a good bed a shower with pressure that'd knock you off your feet if you didn't brace yourself to places with gold taps and sheets like a slip and slide. Mind you I suppose down thataways a AC unit would be the more important.

But I think it's unforgivable for restaurant staff to ignore you. (I had the same experience in the mountains of NC recently, when my sisters and I just wanted to pay the bill at a sandwich shop and leave, but the server / cashier was sitting at a table with another customer chatting while she took her order. She then made that customer a milkshake before taking our money.

I love the charm even if they aren't quite as comfortable as modern ones.<br /><br />Iowa has a no smoking law for any public venue. Even though you can still smoke outdoors and on the veranda of motels, the no smoking law has definitely made a significant dent in the number of people who smoke. As a result, it is quite common to attend public outdoor events and not see people smoking. I am so used to it now that I really notice when I travel to other states and smell all the cigarette smoke everywhere I go.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-66370889764238591272016-09-05T18:02:09.732-04:002016-09-05T18:02:09.732-04:00It's a shame about the cigarette smoke and the...It's a shame about the cigarette smoke and the insufficient air conditioning, but it sounds like it was a beautiful hotel otherwise.
