Spots

  • Ar Palas
  • private business Istanbul Turkey
  • on a steep hill right next to the super happening Taksim District. Breakfast is adequate. Amazing view from the room, even better up the fire escape on the roof.

  • Days Inn
  • private business Victorville CA
  • not fancy, but quite serviceable, restaurants with walking distance

  • Travelodge
  • Wyndham Hotels, Eureka CA
  • Not actually fancy despite my designation, but very very user friendly! Fridge, microwave, good wifi.At the southern end of the 4th Ave (US 101) straightaway, so only a few blocks from downtown Eureka, such as it is,

  • Grand Hotel
  • McMenamin's, McMinnville OR
  • cool old place with all the usual McMenamin's amenities. Parking is two blocks away. Downtown McMinnville is pretty cool, nice restaurants, nice coffee spots

  • Rodeway Inn
  • Rodeway Inn, Cedar City UT
  • Very basic motel on Center St, about five blocks south of Center and Main, the core of any good Mormon town. A lot of semi-permanent residents. Not really sketchy, just poor. Indoor pool and jacuzzi were very nice.

  • Old Town Inn
  • private business Florence OR
  • quiet and pleasant, easy walk to the very cool old bridge and old Florence

  • Caliente Hot Springs Motel
  • private business Caliente NV
  • Recently re-opened, run by an earnest young couple for whom I wish nothing but the best. You can get a rooms with your own tub, or for cheaper a regular room like mine, which is still quite nice, with a spacious kitchenette. With one of these rooms you can use the private tubs all evening. There are four more or less identical private tubs to choose from. They are open to the public until 3pm after that they are solely for the use of us lucky lodgers. :) You fill your tub from empty each time, so hygiene is pretty good, I think.

  • Cherokee Inn
  • private business Cherokee OK
  • A formerly deluxe roadside motel, just hanging on. It has a steakhouse which looked nice, but was closed on Tuesday night.

  • Lava Hot Springs Inn
  • private business Lava Hot Springs ID
  • I didn't go here, but it looked really high class. Hotel with a bunch of hot pools outside

  • Economy Lodge
  • private business Kelso WA
  • low priced but creepy

  • Sleepy Time Motel
  • private business Wagoner OK
  • This is a no frills place, but perfect for what I need tonight, which is a place to wait out a record-breaking cold snap.

  • Four Winds Motel
  • private business Depoe Bay OR
  • pretty cheap, had a coupon in the coupon book, on the hill north oflovely downtown Depoe Bay. I enjoyed my stay!

  • Trails Motel
  • private business Lone Pine CA
  • Right next to the movie museum at the south end of Lone Pine. Can walk to the pizza place.

  • El Campo Casa
  • private business Jackson CA
  • quiet, faux Spanish style, very restful

  • National 9 Motel
  • private business Casper WY
  • Run down but quite nice basically. It seems to be run by a local rehab place so the workers look scary but are quite nice!

  • Harbin Hot Springs
  • private business Middletown CA
  • All through the 90's and 00's this was my favorite getaway - old resort in the hills, a very hot pool, a just-right pool, a cold plunge, a lap pool that rocks on hot summer days, a cozy lodge, breakfast in the morning, expensive espresso drinks all day, world music dance every Tues and Thurs night. That whole vibe got vaporized in the fire. But the wonderful hot water is still coming out of the ground and the tubs (and beautiful ironwork railings) are still here! Last few visits before the cleansing fire I thought they were getting a little too taken with themselves. A Harbin parking ticket?! Give me a break. Then came the fire that consumed all the beautiful old wooden buildings. Everything that wasn't stone or metal was gone. On the way to rebuilding came COVID, now they're back!

  • Vagabond Lodge
  • private business Hood River OR
  • cool place, low price rooms near the road, fancy rooms facing river in other bldg 100 years away

  • Titanic Hotel at Anadolu Medical Center
  • private business Gebze Turkey
  • quite deluxe and pleasant, no reason to be here except for the hospital, wonderful breakfast included, nice people

  • The Springs
  • private business Pagosa Springs CO
  • This a soaking wonderland! There are at least 15 different pools ranging from lukewarm to very hot, arranged on many levels on the hillside along the San Juan River. There are pools at river's edge, so you can hop from very hot to very cold water. I was first here in 1995, and the place has gotten way more developed and expensive since then.

  • Arlington Hotel Resort and Spa
  • private business Hot Springs AR
  • Historic hotel in the very heart of downtown Hot Springs. Nice hot tub, I'm sure the pool is nice in the summer. A short walk to the Hot Springs Visitors Center.

  • Midtown Motel
  • private business Great Falls MT
  • Modest motel with a Perkins restaurant in downtown Great Falls. Checkout time is 1 pm!
