The joys of Red Roof Inn

We're staying in a lot of Red Roof Inns on this trip because they are the most pet-friendly hotel chain. A lot of hotels will allow pets, at an extra $10+ per fleabag, but the good folks at Red Roof Inn don't charge an extra cent for our two little furry companions (who are getting used to this whole traveling thing, but still hate me).

Unfortunately, Red Roof Inn also happens to be just about the only hotel chain that doesn't offer free WiFi. At our current stop near Katy, Texas (home of such notable celebrities as Renee Zellweger AND Deborah Nicol), the Internet is a luxury. But when we're socked away at our maroon-thatched domicile in Palm Springs, that lack of web access will seriously hamper our ability to search the classifieds and Craigslist for our future abode. So I forked over the 20 bucks for one month of hotspot access. Grrrrrr.

So Red Roof Inn gets a B for its spacious, clean rooms and pet-friendly policies (sorry about the cat puke in the corner of Room 213 in Katy), but gets points deducted for it being 2006 and not offering free wireless.

Dude, $10 is CHEAP. We had to pay $75 for the furballs to stay with us over the weekend at Ye Olde Residince Inn.

The only place I remember not having to pay an arm and other appendage was what Betsy and I lovingly call "The Toenail Inn" in Athens, OH. Use your imagination.
