QUILT INN - ND, KENMARE
Traveling to
this part of the country I did not dare not have reservations and this place
was the closest to the border I could find online (But as I passed through
Portal, it looked like there were rooms there, didn't get a name)
Nice
clean motel, just what I would expect in a small midwest / plains town. Did
have one issue that the door would not lock. In a lesser motel this has really
spooked me, but not here. I just switched rooms, luckily they still had one
left for me but it was the last one.
There is room for a few big rigs. Bar
next door has food until late which isn't something you always find in rural
areas.
To compare it to a chain, I'd place this motel above your average
Days Inn/Super 8, maybe in the Sleep Inn group for everything except a morning
meal.
SOUTH OF THE BORDER - ND, KENMARE
Just a small
area with stools in this bar and looks more like there should be a dance floor
than have a pool table. It just seemed big and open to me, not crowded.
I
had a side of soup, and that was help yourself. Sandwich was good and plenty of
it.
LEROYS MOTEL - AB, STRATHMORE
I wasn't sure I
would make it to Strathmore that night so I did not make reservations, but did
call ahead in the AM and the Super 8 still had rooms. But when I got there they
were sold out, as was the Best Western, and the Travelodge rooms started at
$230.
I had seen this $34 motel when I came into town and I said to
myself, 'not tonight, not in Canada.' But now it was down to LeRoys or the
Howard Johnson. Someone in town told me that 'I've heard LeRoy's is old, but
clean.'
And that is a very good description of it. The only thing I |
