Not to be “racists”, but Motel 6s also.
I find that anytime I check into a budget model I can usually practice the little Gujarati that I speak.
Hey any port in a storm- back in June of 17 - I was out grinding around on my bike and, departing south out of Idaho Falls for Bryce, my home front commander had made a reservation for me at 'lodgings' just in on state rt. 12 off of the 89, general vicinity of Bryce. She said there was a Rodeway right there but no rooms. Now, my ride down from Idaho Falls was a bummer. Started out with hail and horizontal rain squalls almost down to the Utah line. And then began the wind - seriously marginal all the way down to the two lane twisty [rt 20?] from the 15 over into the 89. May not sound like much but I was tired - serious need of a good IPA and a very rare steak. Taxied into the so-called 'lodging'- bunch of ratty little cabins, parking lot composed of 2 inch river aggregate and 10 inch chuck holes. No clients, no lights, no cars, what next - Tony Perkins offering a special rate on a cabin? Got out of the river aggregate parking lot [by the Grace of G-d - it was dark by now] up the road and into the Rodeway parking lot [asphalt, no less]. The three gentlemen in attendance at the desk were Pakistanis. One spoke a bit of English. One room available. Wow, no food but they had beer. And courteous to a fault. On that three week ride[Maryland to Coeur d'Alene - Prescott - Taos and home] I hit 3 Rodeways - owned by Paks. The only Indian owner I've encountered [Sept 2019] has the really sharp Best Western several clicks north of Louisville on the 65. The dude made a point of telling me that Harley had a factory in India. Politely of course. All in English - no Gujarati.
