When we planned to go to my oldest daughter's college graduation, we didn't think we needed to come 2 days early. But then she won some awards and the honors ceremony meant we needed to come a day early.
Unfortunately, all the good hotels were booked and we found ourselves at the
Days Inn Oriskany. How bad could it be for one night?
Well, we had only 2 towels for 3 of us and no one answered at housekeeping. The walls were paper thin, but the room next to us was under construction and looked forbiddingly like something from The Shining.
And when we tried to get breakfast at 7, there was no food. So we decided to exercise.
The fitness room had probably last been updated in the Eisenhower era. Broken TVs were piled in the corner, the cardio equipment was rickety and the iron barbells had prison weight room written all over them.
There were exactly 2 small towels and a decent amount of space so I ran my husband through boot camp drills. We used a weight bench and the barbells.
An house later, we checked on breakfast, which was being set up. Stale English muffins and coffee in Styrofoam. We waited for our youngest to wake up and went out for breakfast.
