November 1, 2016. Kerrville, Texas. Holiday Inn Express.

We have been in a rut.  The Comfort In has been our home away from home,  but the last time we stayed in Fredericksburg, Ken had difficulty breathing.  He thought that the motel was a bit moldy, so since we have been at the ranch, he has been investigating the other moderately priced motels on the internet.  Much to his surprise, Super S was top rated in that group.  So now for the next few months, we will stay in other motels.  Tomorrow in Kerrville I have an 8:15 appointment with the surgeon so we decided to drive to Kerrville today and stay over.  Ken selected the Holiday Express as our first experiment.

For $20. more than the Comfort Inn, we have lots more space and amenities.   The price is still under $100.  I feel like we are living in the lap of luxury.  We have three areas.  The first, closest to the window houses a desk, a couch and a coffee table, in addition to a TV on a dresser.  The big window looks out at a field.  Next area is the bedroom, with a king sized bed with 2 ample side tables,  comfortable chair and a chest with another TV.  In the corner is a sturdy card table size with two dining chairs.  The entrance area has a small bar sink with a refrigerator, a microwave and one cup coffee pot, along with a six foot bench for cases.  The bathroom has ample space with bars all around the shower.

Ken and I are pleased with our first venture into other motels.  Being in a rut is fine until it is not working.  Next up we will try out La Quinta.  Ken listened to a talk giving the growth of the company, so we will see for ourselves.  The Holiday Inn Express is definitely a winner.
