This one is going into the Rae record books. I went to bed at 12:15AM local time and fell asleep within minutes. Next thing I knew, it was past 8:30AM. I am fairly certain I have not had a SOLID EIGHT hours of sleep since I was a child. Had I not had a long drive ahead of me today, I might actually have tried for a couple more. I’m wiped!
Breakfast is included with the room, so I dressed and went down to the lobby to get a bad pastry, juice of powdered OJ, and some murky coffee for the road. Ha ha ha ha. This is the second time I’ve stayed at a hotel where the complimentary breakfast was something I would have actually paid for! The first was in the US. I forget at which hotel, but it was part of this brand at the lower end, so that explains a lot.
For breakfast, there were nice-looking scrambled eggs with peppers and onions, sausage, make-your-own waffles, two kinds of fresh juice, several coffee and tea choices, cold cereal, pastries, toast (with butter, peanut butter, jams, and cream cheese available), yoghurt, and fresh fruit. I wanted a waffle with sausage, but the lineup of teens ahead of me was interminable so I opted for toast with my sausage, along with OJ, coffee, and yoghurt. Most people showed up for breakfast in their PJs (!) so I didn’t feel that out of place this morning. 🙂
I’d better be headed off. ETA at home is midnight.
Comfort Inn is our new favorite place to stay. We left a 5-star review on TripAdvisor back in February for the one in Arlington, VA. Pet-friendly, and an excellent breakfast included. Like you, we found a room much larger than what we really needed, everything clean and lots of hot water. I think the rate was $89 that night. Glad you are having a smooth trip so far–drive carefully the rest of the way. And please post a few more detailed photos of your Ranger–especially after you get the bed set up!
You might be suffering from a bit of “Jet Lag” without the Jet!! 🙂
It is a looooonnnnnggggg drive across Ontario but very scenic…..happy driving….in your Ford Ranger
My favorite motel breakfast is a bagel with cream cheese and strawberry jelly. If they offer that, I am in heaven. If I get to have scrambled eggs with it there is absolutely nothing that tops that!
Debbie: more photos will come when my truck is clean. 🙂
Norma: I definitely have jet lag! As for northern Ontario, there’s a reason I chose to go through most of Montana, all of North Dakota, all of Minnesota, all of Wisconsin, part of Michigan, and part of Ontario instead. 🙂
Linda: Yum to the bagel, ick to the eggs. 🙂
