The only problem with attending Education Week is finding a place to stay. One year we stayed in a Quality Inn that we call The Low Quality Inn. Another year we stayed in a Best Western that has an indoor pool right off the lobby and it makes the whole place damp and smelly. This year we booked early and found a good price at a new place in town, the Magneson. It sounded good, but when we pulled around the corner this is what we found:
The Best Western has been sold and renamed. The pool is still just off the lobby, but they have done something about the smell. They are on a tight budget though and it showed. Our key didn’t work, so on the third attempt the girl came to make sure it wasn’t operator error. Then she gave us another room, but the key still didn’t work. She finally brought a remote kind of thing with her to our original room and got us in, but the air conditioner wasn’t working. She tried to get us in another room across the way, but couldn’t get the key to work. We finally ended up in the second room she offered us, with a key that worked, and an air conditioner that just worked marginally. We will be going back to Education Week, but not to the Magneson. As we were driving out of town we spotted a Spring Hill Suites by Marriot. If that doesn’t work, we’ll be in Idaho Falls.
