I reserved a motel room at the Toad River Lodge with my credit card a week in advance. I showed up and the ladies puzzled over their ledger and finally told me, "Sorry, we gave your room away." I had to drive three hours to Fort Nelson to find another motel.

It would have been nice if they'd offered me free food or something, since I was standing in their restaurant, but no - just "we gave your room away," kthxbye. more
