Leave the rest of us the convenience, not a trip downstairs, and a long wait for a bag of ice. If people are worried about the virus, they don't need to touch the ice machine.

Only two entrances to the entire property, both secured, makes people feel safe I guess. You can't expect a front desk clerk to think of everything, can you? - We're thrilled that we can dine out in front of the casino in part of the driveway that's been roped off, lunch is terrific, our first restaurant meal since March. That's our error for not asking for a top floor room. There is at least one small child stomping around above us. The new room doesn't overlook a gas station, but we can hear the TV in the next room which is on for HOURS.

That leaves about 10' to hang up your clothes. Where's the closet? Oh, it's this narrow cupboard over here. Uh, have you ever looked at a map of your hotel? - New room is fine, spacious, lots of horizontal space for my stuff, refrigerator, microwave, gorgeous bathroom. Her reply: 'Yes?' Like she doesn't understand what we're talking about, that kind of request is beyond her. Original agent becomes free, we repeat about the quiet room, the one that doesn't overlook the gas station. Different agent greets us, starts to look for another room, answers the phone and leaves us standing there for ten minutes while she answers many questions and takes a res. Left our luggage, back down to front desk. Requested a room in a quiet area, the room overlooks the gas station. Inside, the place is beautifully decorated. Not a single architectural detail, just a big rectangular box. From the highway, you see an enormous yellow building on top of a hill. A new property very close to our destination of Ferndale.

$175 per night during the virus crisis on a mid-week 2-nite visit. Good God, what a waste of money, LOTS of money.
