If I find one there that looks promising, then I go to TripAdvisor.com to see what other travelers think of that motel. Between their reviews and those on the AAA site...and considering the nightly rate...I usually find suitable lodging. Occasionally we're disappointed, but it works most of the time.<br /><br />That deer stood on its hind legs to reach those berries. Unfortunately, I missed that shot. :)Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-22131114523649759272012-10-14T23:38:13.931-04:002012-10-14T23:38:13.931-04:00Another neat area...

Sounds like you all always pick nice ones... <br /><br />Beautiful sunset photo--and I love seeing the deer...

I think if we didn't have 3 dogs to take care of we would definitely go on a trip like this.

Looking at the photo of the rear of the building again, I think that brown contraption behind the two red posts might be some sort of lift for a wheelchair.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-4536621795619566942012-10-11T09:12:52.916-04:002012-10-11T09:12:52.916-04:00The steps weren't too bad, Petra, and the view...The steps weren't too bad, Petra, and the view WAS worth it. The deer was actually joined by another as we watched, so I think you're right that they are used to being in that residential area. We had booked our motel room before beginning the trip, but we hadn't really understood its design until we arrived. It was a very old building (a hundred years...old by our standards, not yours) but had been updated and was quite comfortable.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-60974454938399596122012-10-11T09:01:20.516-04:002012-10-11T09:01:20.516-04:00very interesting motel. not very handicabable, but...very interesting motel. not very handicabable, but cool. the views were beautiful - thank you for the 72 steps. :)TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13641962051044162710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-87553624104908592892012-10-11T08:57:49.732-04:002012-10-11T08:57:49.732-04:00We enjoy staying in these older-style motels, Step...We enjoy staying in these older-style motels, Stephen, if they've been updated on the inside.Linda at To Behold The Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07419060763634934217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031302234429148594.post-49352260970358043512012-10-11T06:57:18.494-04:002012-10-11T06:57:18.494-04:00Climbing 72 steps doesn't seem too much of a p...Climbing 72 steps doesn't seem too much of a price for that beautiful view! :)<br /><br />The deer seems quite undisturbed by traffic, it may be used to coming into the residential area often.
