Our initial plan for Saturday night made months ago was to crash upon the hospitality of a friend of ours who lived in Texas Saturday (hey, and maybe Friday night too). Once that proved unlikely ... we decided to grab a quick hotel outside of DFW on the cheap and drive into town early Sunday morning.
Driving across the vast expanse of Texas left Wifey plenty of passenger seat time to google. She ended up finding a great deal of a Super 8 in North Fort Worth, only 15 minutes from our Sunday morning destination, so we pressed forward into town.
The Super 8 is just north of DFW airport, and in a hotel row with many other hotel chains. Overall, it was a great solution for us and provided not only a clean, safe bed but also the surprise bonus of free breakfast the following morning.
The hotel room itself was a paradox. Staff was excellent, our room was clean and seemingly well kept ... but the door handle had caused a hole in the wall, the desk chair showed significant signs of wear, and the toilet was a bit finicky. For our needs and willingness to invest in our stay, it was a great fit, however.
We keep trying to pack light and strategically ... for our one night stay at this hotel .. despite best efforts ... we still ended up with a ton of luggage. The large suitcase we needed ... for a pair of socks. Note for the future: pack earlier and more slowly.
Breakfast was surprisingly enjoyable.
Hubby made a breakfast burrito including Jalapenos ... certainly a hotel breakfast first.
Wifey kept things a bit more traditional ... cereal, yogurt, bacon, eggs, biscuit, and gravy!
You know you're in Texas when ... Salsas and Jalapenos for Breakfast!
Eggs, sausage, bacon, biscuits, and gravy!
Good grief!
ReplyDeleteYeah, i kept being confused/flabbergasted by the contrasts.
DeleteI mean the amount of luggage O-O
