Reading your description of some of your motels on your journey, brought back memories of a trip to Las Vegas we made years ago. We had taken along a coupon book that we have purchased for discount hotel rooms. It seemed like such a "Treasure" of an idea. The treasure book showed a Las Vegas hotel called the Landmark (it has since been imploded and made the National news). With our discount we could get this hotel room for a mere $25.00. I might add, this was a l-o-n-g- time ago. Little did we know the treasure book coupon entitled you to a room overlooking the garbage collection bins at the back of the hotel. We were tired and dusty from our days touring and went to the room and were looking forward to a warm shower and a good sleep. Everything was clean but very dated and we inspected to make sure we were safe to put the suitcases on the floor. We were in bed early but woken by a party next door and voices that seemed way too close. Opening our eyes, we could see a strange irregular image on the wall. It was as if it was lit from behind and on further inspection, it was indeed. Previous occupants had punched a rather large hole in the wall and the hotel had simply wallpapered over the hole rather than plaster and fill it in. We laugh about it to this day.
