A Hotel Room in a Museum?

My father liked to travel cheap.  We stayed in some funky places over the years.  I was in my teens when my grandfathers died (two months apart.)  The following spring my paternal grandmother and I started traveling together.  She was still spending summers on the farm and winters in Florida (a few years later she stopped going north for the summers.) For three years I drove her back and forth.  On the first trip we stopped at a Holiday Inn, I had never been in one, to fancy for my father.  She picked up a directory and said, "I can't take the money with me, let's enjoy!"  In those days the uniformity of the rooms was amazing.  In later years my father lossend up a little and had a few Hilton nights over the years.  

I still use Holiday Inn from time to time, though Hilton and Marriott seem to dominate.  I have already surpassed 45 nights in hotels this year, and the fall is going to be busy.
