+W7WT Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I have all the caches that were in the Cache Machine already loaded into all the GPSs. Not sure when we will be able to make it down there. It will take us three days to find the caches that you people found in one day. Would appreciate some recomendations where to stay. Would like good WiFi and at least a micro-wave and small frig. Probably be doing the mid-week. Thanks, Dick and Arlene W7WT Link to comment

The water pressure is non existent and shower is barely more than a drip coming out of the shower head. Jim Link to comment

+ZeroHecksGiven Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I cached with B+L for the cache machine and met up with them in the morning at the Relax Inn, where they were staying. It seemed okay, there was wifi and free waffles for breakfast, though I think you have to make them yourself, haha. I think it was around $45 a night if I remember right, cheapest in chehalis I think. Maybe they will pitch in some advice though Link to comment
+Prying Pandora Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express and it was wonderful. The place is brand new and it even smells new - reminded me of doing the walk-through on a new house. Breakfast is included and it is excellent - bacon and scrambled eggs, even. Be careful when you make your reservations though - the least expensive price is non-refundable. Link to comment

I think it was around $45 a night if I remember right, cheapest in chehalis I think. Maybe they will pitch in some advice though We stayed at the Chehalis Inn. Locally owned. Clean, but small rooms. Good Shower. Queen beds (really more like full). Bordering on too soft, but OK mattresses. Nice staff. Fast free Internet. Free Waffles. Coffee 24x7. Next to I-5, but noise was not an issue. The Holiday Inn Express was tempting, but we try to avoid off gassing (new construction smell) and we don't mind staying in dumpy motels as long as they are clean. Going by the published prices, the Holiday Inn was the better deal until we used Priceline and got our room for less than half price. Having said all that, the place is pretty dumpy and you may not have the same tolerance level that we do. Link to comment

My wife and I both lived in rural Southern Illinois. Until after WWII we had no electricity or indoor plumbing. We have a hard time spending money. We can afford to stay in the most expensive motels but as long as it is in a nice neighborhood and is clean we are happy. We enjoyed our stay in the Auld Holland Inn in Oak Harbor and the La Quinta in Wenatchee, Quality Inn etc. We really enjoy the Cantebury Inn in Ocean Shores when they have 60% off.

Dick and Arlene Well in that case, I should point out that the dirt floors looked freshly swept and all the magazines in the outhouse were less than three months old. Seriously though, I forgot to mention that the rooms are equipped with a microwave and small fridge. Link to comment

+W7WT Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 You are making me homesick. As long as we have the frig and microwave. We use to keep the milk cool lowering it down in the cistern. Thanks Link to comment
+Fuzzywhip Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I stayed at the Motel 6 on Belmont St. $35.99 + tax for three nights. Clean room with double queen beds. Bathroom was reasonable (clean but needed a bit of repair.) Good water pressure and heat. For the price, a good basic place to stay. Link to comment
