CROOCKSTON INN

This is 'my place' in this town. Most of my co-workers prefer one of the other two locations. I have likely stayed here at least a dozen times in as many years.
The 'Crookson Inn' is at least the third name it has had during that time. I stayed here a few months ago and it was the 'Best Value.' Before that it had been the Red (something) for a number of years.
This is June 2013 and it sounds like this place just became the Crookston Inn a couple of months ago. Now they are working on re-furbishing the motel. The restaurant is also still under re-construction.
Right now the place meets my basics of clean, warm/cool and (almost) quiet. I did ask the ? owner-manager the next morning if I would still be able to afford the place when they were done. They said the price shouldn't' change … much.
The room … in process. The bed, bedding, pillows would match a Holiday Inn, the rest of my room had not been re-done.
The (almost) quiet comment was in regards to the train that went through at 7AM blowing it's horn. I was on the side by the tracks and about a block from the tracks. About half the rooms face the pool and the other half either face the Hwy 2 or the tracks.
