Roadside motels in the United States
Writes blogger prohorov:
"The number, quality and diversity of the United States on all tracks, including on local roads is impressive.
Before dream trip across America, I started booking hotels along the way, and it broke his head. As it turned out, nothing broke - when after leaving the East Coast on I 80 we covered dense snowstorm, it became clear that the motel is not necessary to hold on. Fortunately on our way literally every 15-20 kilometers appeared "hotel islands", one of which we stopped.
On the roads of America, I have never seen in such "island" was only one motel - a few hotels and the traveler is always a choice, which run up tired eyes. In this post I will talk about the most common in the US-run hotel and accommodation prices, so you immediately knew where to stop for the night is and what is not. "
