Yup, I can pick ’em! Two hours sleep, I think, last night. It was partly my own fault. I went to bed at 10:30 pm and tossed and turned because the motel was busy with people still checking in. Also, I-95 is right outside me window.
Traffic noise doesn’t bother me. What bothered me was next door. I think there was a couple in the room but people kept coming and going all night long, whether it was the couple or others. I finally dozed off around 2 am after I used the white noise app on my phone.
At 4 am, someone, I assume either on the other side of them or someone below them pounded on their door. It got quieter then but I was up at 5:30 am and someone left the room again.
It would have been easier if they had put in a revolving door. Whether it was a young lady of the evening entertaining or whether someone was selling drugs out of the room, or whether they had nicotine fits and had to have a smoke break every 10 minutes, I don’t know but the motel staff was strangely uncurious. There are cameras in the hallway so they surely knew of all the commotion.
If I can stay awake on the drive to Shenandoah, I intend to go to bed early tonight. Stay away from Quality Inn in Stratford if you like your sleep.
