They wouldn't let me cancel obviously and the room was a smoking room. I picked places that had continental breakfast so I could save some money and also get loaded up with snacks for the day! Only one place in Lorraine, Ohio would not let me eat a few minutes early. Beware floors. I walked into an old motel that had tile floors and skated to the front desk. Every time I ran into rain the hotels would have extra newspaper somewhere to stuff into my shoes overnight.
