Free HBO/Free Cable... Seriously?
I was driving past a decent hotel the other day in Omaha and I noticed that on the sign out front. The lettering was faded so I'm guessing it's been up there a few years. Why do hotels/motels still advertise that on their signs? I mean I know I don't look for hotels that allow me to watch Game of Thrones when I'm traveling. I look for places that might offer free wifi, free breakfast, free drinks and such.
Seriously? Isn't HBO and cable pretty much a staple at all hotels anymore? Maybe advertise free porn or how about Netflix or Hulu? Actually, **** your TV. Where's the free dinner vouchers or something? It's kind of stupid, IMO. This is just a bit obscure and outdated nowadays. I could understand it in the 1980's when HBO was a big ****ing deal. Now it pretty much comes with any cable/satellite plan. I've seen other outdated "deals" like that as well. The gas station that still offers free air, the buffet restaurant that let's kids under four eat free... Shit like that just doesn't make sense anymore to me. Maybe it's to bring in the older crowds? **** it, I'm gonna go watch me some free HBO at the motel 6. |

Air is getting kind of hard to find in gas stations anymore.
My BIL and SIL made a PILE of money by hitting family days in Salina. They could tell you where kids could eat cheap on any given day of the week. |

I need clarification on "decent" hotel.
So many are used by the hour or by the syringe.

I can't give you a proper story without knowing all the parameters. Whats a decent hotel?
edit: Are those extended stay hotels? Nasty people live in those. I bet free cable and HBO is a good draw for a crack head.

I think this one was a Hawthorne inn or something similar. |

Ya but you're in Kansas where it's always 1982.

Hey mother****er. If it's one thing we can do, it's gas stations. Drive through Healy KS one time and tell me if Healy Oil belongs in a town like that.
Really though, when you have a big leak and NEED air to make it to the tire repair shop or home, it can be hard to find. I can understand town vehicles. Bought the wife a new car 2 years ago, and we never take it off a paved road and there are precisely 0 patches in those tires. My pickup on the other hand had at least 8 in each of the back tires. I'm a little more sensitive to the air situation than most. Accordingly, I'm picking up one of these after harvest so I never have to **** with it again. |
