That why I like to go to Mesquite .. I get a "clean" room for $27 a night. (well, I can gamble and the food costs are really low ... ). There's good winter riding there. Summer, not so much ... HOT.
But hotels are getting high. When I "Meander", I stay in Mom and Pop hotels/motels ... Sometimes they don't even take credit cards .. cash only. Last November I stayed in one for $18 a night ... very clean, not fancy and No Credit Cards, it's how they keep their cost down. I kind of like motels, I can park right in front of my room .. not as important now with the new knees, but, nice to keep an eye on the ride.
