Homecoming 2010-- Part 4-- Room at the Inn

ROOM AT THE INN

We then drove to Lincoln Highway with the idea of seeing if we could find a room for he night. I didn't really think we would, but you never know.

Travelodge, the old Motel 6 where we spent so many misguided homecomings in the past wasn't an option. It was bad as a Motel 6, but really bottomed out when Travelodge took it over. People who know me, know that a motel has to be ESPECIALLY BAD for me to refuse to stay. Plus, the sorry excuse who murdered the five students on St. Valentine's Day 2008, stayed here before his foul deed.

The parking lot of the Best Western (old Holiday Inn where we had our wedding reception back in August 1973). They even had an employee posted at the entrance.

We went to Magnuson Inn & Suites (the old Baymont Motel) and found the parking lot to have spaces so decided to try our luck. Liz went in and they did have rooms that people had canceled so we got one. But, we paid big-time for it. All Liz would say was that it was double what we usually try to pay (which is $60). She still won't tell me.

Anyway, it is next to Fatty's where we had plans of going anyway.

We always like it when we can get a room by some place we're going. Cuts down on the DUI factor.
