Cozy Motel Room in Kellogg, ID, Spokane

When you book a room for the 'experience' and not the 'luxury'.

Later that night, I checked into this quaint motel in Kellogg, Idaho. The room is the epitome of functional charm, with its patterned bedspread and the usual suspects of motel amenities—a microwave, mini-fridge, and a coffee maker that looks like it's seen better days. Two backpacks on the bed hint at my perpetual state of semi-unpacking. The mirror above the bed seems to be there more for existential reflections than practical use. The soft lighting gives the room a cozy vibe, though I’m pretty sure the decor hasn't changed since the '90s. It's the kind of place where you half-expect to find a Gideon Bible in the drawer and a mysterious stain on the carpet. But hey, it's all part of the adventure, right? The window with its blinds offers a glimpse of the outside world, reminding me that there's more to explore beyond these four walls. And as I sit here, sipping a questionably brewed cup of coffee, I can't help but appreciate the simplicity of it all. Sometimes, it's these unassuming places that offer the most memorable experiences. Now, if only the Wi-Fi password wasn't written in hieroglyphics.
