Relaxing in Strasbug

Does that photo look familiar?  It's Marty drinking a Fat Tire Beer in the Strasburg Hotel Restaurant.  A familiar sight to my regular blog followers.  We found this gem of a place a little over a year ago, when Becky moved down to Bristol, VA and I found it way too stressful to make the 500 mile drive in a day.

Now, we have done that trip in one day several times, but in the winter, when the dark comes early, there's something to be said about taking a break from the crazy truck traffic and breaking up the trip.

It's not far from the highway, and an early start will get us to Bristol right around lunchtime with the rest of the day available to be entertained by our grandson.

Now, I ask you, where else can you find a room for $68.00 a night that looks like this?

And, permits small dogs in the room for a $10.00 fee?  

Ok, so I'll admit that we're paying $78.00,  but that includes breakfast (for us, not for Buster....but no worries, we did bring dogfood for him.

The staff is friendly and eager to please.  The water in the shower is hot.  The room is quiet, probably because there are few people here in this hotel.  Really, it can't be beat.

Now, if this type of style doesn't suit you, you can choose the  Ramada or the Fairfield hotels that are located right off of the highway.

But, I'll bet you don't find one of these in either of those places:

They sure do have the most unusual collection of lamps in this place.  Gotta love it!
