Those little details are not important to me. I go more by the atmosphere and character of a place. These old motels are relics of a different era in the USA. Now, we have the Indian motel/hotel families, such as the well-known Patel network, to thank for the preservation of these old structures. They know how best to keep the rooms affordable to working class folk while still maintaining hospitality and comfort. I enjoy imagining the ghosts of past travelers hovering in the mist. Man, it's all about the vibe! But, yes, it was clean and tidy and fresh-smelling, too.
