If it occurs to you as you drive down Amarillo's main drag that everybody should spend at least one night in a motel that has a half lit sign advertising rooms for $19 a night, don't.
LOL!
Years ago I was called out on short-notice to an out-of-town job. At the end of the day in the field I started looking for motels in the city. It was late and I was tired.
I pulled into this place. It had a gated entry with like a parking attendant guy. The motel and parking lot behind him. The guy was in this little booth with bars all around.
He wasn’t the parking attendant - he was the motel desk! I realized once I got to my room that most of the rooms were probably rented by the hour.
