Rolled into the Saga Motor Hotel 22 hrs, three states and two rental cars after I started my day, having compounded an impressive carbon footprint.
Staying here at the Saga Motor Hotel -- a sweet little mom & pop motor court in that funky 40's SoCal style -- because a colleague of mine wanted to have a little more fun with business trips. And it definitely beats the corporate Marriott up the road -- feels a little like pulling into grama's place (not my grama's, but somebody's grama I'm sure).
Paperback books and potted plants on the shelves, shuttered windows, bad wallpaper and a mini-fridge made for college dorm rooms in the corner.
Smells a little like an old folks home. But in a good way.
If that makes any sense at all.
G'night.

I love your sense of going with the flow - I love that you turn every day into that of a free spirit.
Okay, next time you want to stay at a motor court hotel in Cali, drive up to Carpinteria and stay at The Eugenia Motel. I promise you will be charmed. Where is the Saga?
