Woken up by what I assume is the mosquito spraying truck going round and round. They don't post their schedule and I can hear it but I can't see it. It is a different sound than the midnight street sweeper.

Days later I’m still horrified by how much I paid for a motel room in Springfield Illinois to attend the state fair. You people would not believe it. No one here could guess how much. It’s only slightly below the horrific amount I paid in Boston a few years ago and another ugly cheap motel that was near the airport with last-minute reservations.
Do you want to know the amount? It was $490.
Next week we’re going to the Missouri state fair and staying at the old historic hotel and yes I’m sure that’s going to be $300 plus, but that’s a different experience. I called weeks ago for that reservation and managed to snag one night because everything else was booked up.
Wow! Was that for one night? Was it for ultra-cool accommodations?
It was one night. It was a cheap motel. It was your typical cheap motel. Granite is it a newly decorated but that’s about it.Originally Posted by rosarugosa
Wow! That IS a lot to pay for one night!

Well next time it's in the Boston area, let me know. I could have at least steered you towards something more to your liking:

I thought granite was expensive, at least in countertops, compared to say laminate. What in the room was granite?
I never paid that much in Boston or San Francisco. I have had good luck using hotels.com and booking.com.
Were you trying to say - granted it is newly decorated? Do you use your microphone to answer posts, perhaps? I find that I have had to say some of your posts to the drift ofyour intent but that is good practice for when I start answering using audio.
I paid half that for a fairly decent motel last fall and swore high rate that would never happen to me again - $100 to 150 is my usual.

Travel is expensive these days. People are biting at the bit to travel and are paying the price.
