FRIDAY'S RIDICULOG: TODAY THE MOTEL RATES MAYHEM!

BEFORE WE LEFT FOR SAULT STE. MARIE , WE HAD TO STAY OVERNIGHT AT LEAST 2 NIGHTS. I LOOKED FOR THE BEST PRICE. WE DECIDED ON A PLACE CALLED THE HILLSIDE. IT WAS TRICKY TO GET OUT OF THE LOT THE FOLLOWING MORNING DUE TO ICE. THE KICKER , AFTER CHECKING ON THE INTERNET AND FINDING THAT IT WAS $77. A NIGHT AND OF COURSE NEEDING 2 BEDS FIGURING ON IT BEING NEAR 90 WE WENT THERE. IT WAS INSTEAD $185 / NIGHT WITH A DEPOSIT OF $60. FOR THE RETURN OF THE KEY. THE FOLLOWING MORNING , THE MAN WASN'T THERE , NO WAY TO GET IN. A MAN WHO WORKS THERE, OPENED THE OFFICE, WE PUT THE KEY ON THE COUNTER AND HOPED THE DEPOSIT WOULD BE RETURNED. THE $185./NIGHT WAS RIDICULOUS , LAST NIGHT WE WENT TO THE TRAVELODGE AND WHAT A DIFFERENCE. OH DID I TELL YOU THAT WE FROZE THAT NIGHT. LAST NIGHT , COMFORTABLE, FREE COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST , WAS REALLY GOOD AND WAS 50 DOLLARS CHEAPER. LESSON LEARNED!
