I can always find something positive to say about an accommodation, no matter what type or class, but not about the Best Value Inn in Decatur.

The front desk is set in a gloomy room, with a pretentious staircase in the back. There is no bell to call a receptionist, but a surly individual saunters down the stairs -- she must have seen our car arrive. The room was adequately furnished but the furniture was placed in such a way so that nothing was comfortable or relaxing. The bathroom was clean except for the old, used packet of coffee in the coffee maker. The exterior door into the interior hallway was so stiff that one had to put down each suitcase when we were unloading our car. We were loading the car and still had luggage in the room the next morning when the room attendant came in and started to strip the bed and emptyi the garbage -- this before 8 o'clock.

In short,drive on to Fort Wayne! more
