Close to Stanford but needs fine tuning.

Toilet lever kept getting stuck. I am celiac and only gluten free option was banana for full breakfast. And the lovely jack hammer at 7:00 am for alarm clock. Oh can’t forget the rock hard bed. But it was clean.

The Absolute Bare Minimum

When I checked in, the clerk barely looked at me as he was involved in a personal phone conversation. He just asked for my ID and credit card and handed me my room key. When I returned to the motel in the evening there weren’t any parking spaces left, so I had to take a handicap space. Lastly, no lamps in the room. Only harsh overhead lighting.
