Although disappointed at paying $99.99 for one night, fatigue won out, so I registered for the night. The first assigned room was a "smoking room", with the house-current smoke alarm chirping every minute. (And a broken door frame and lock).

Asking for an alternate room, I was assigned another smoking room. "It's all we have left". Another damaged door and lock, but I parked as directed.

The linens and towels were fresh, but they'd left used soap for my use. I had my own soap anyway, and after a decent night's sleep, I grabbed my two bags, opened the door and discovered my vehicle wasn't there!

The County Sheriff advised my vehicle had been towed. Asked why, they said, "Incomplete license plate verification". Anxious to continue my trip, I forgot to ask why the towing company was removing cars from private property. (?)

Anyway, lightened by $152.50 by the towing company, I got back on the road and mulled-over what had happened overnight back in Ormond Beach, Florida.

Since I'm still on the road, I'll wait until Monday to start making those really long calls...

Start with Wyndham Hotels ?
I remember traveling to Florida in the 70’s and early 80’s and Days Inn had a great reputation for being clean and very inexpensive at only $29.00 per night! We would always look for a Days Inn to stay at! My how things have changed….

I will say in this day and age $99.00 a night for a room is cheap!
