A Mom And Pop Place

I have a definite bias for chain motels.

That's odd, maybe, because you expect the local guys to give you good old fashioned service, and not just because they're trying to please their corporate masters up the food chain.

But that's not the way I look at it. I look at it as maybe you can expect more uniform standards from a chain. That Mom and Pop can do things any old way. Maybe they'll be sitting at the table chewing a weed and not stocking your bathroom with towels.

Some Mom and Pop businesses are good. But I avoid them for the most part.
