Here we go again. I found this great old motel while driving around the other day.
I guess it speaks for itself, no rooms available today(if they could only talk!)

"Im sorry sir, all we have left are the ambassador suites!"

"when do you stop serving the continental breakfast"?

Mikie don't be so picky you got free wasps,snakes,critters all night to keep you company :-) But the price is right . I love it ! I think I stayed in that one once in TX and left in middle of night spooked tight outta there . Something was moving around . I know it was that under the bed gremlin that followed me from Ca and lives with you now . Check under your bed tonight !
he's not here anymore, seems he got a paying gig somewhere out west, in some high-end motel, said the place looked perfect for him, native rock structure, windows galore, cactus & yucca gardens, low traffic count, its great!
Im doin it again, arnt i? sorry packrat.
This should answer any questions:
"Rooms to let fifty cents
No phone no pool no pets
I ain't got no cigarettes
Ah but, two hours of pushing broom
Buys a eight by twelve four bit room"

"Honey, this looked different in the brochure"
where is the ice machine? Do The Beds Still Vibrate?
LOL Mikie that was good one
Kevin, sorry, no old lady. This is actually in the process of becoming an historical site. From what I understand this was quite a resort at one time. What I photographed was just the office. The entire resort is behind a fence, you can just see it from the fence. There was nobody around and I did not want to trespass. In case anybody wants to see it, it is on US Highway 87, between Brady, Texas and the San Saba River bridge.
mikielikesigns2, I guess you forgot to use Hotels.com.
