I was too tired to drive any further and darkness was descending. So, I stopped in Breezewood to rest. In reviewing where to stay, I saw two hotels that were equally highly rated, but one was almost a third in price. How could this be? I found the answer when I checked into my room and the shock wore off. It was something from the 40s, but nothing had been restored, including the carpet. It was true that I slept okay with the noise from the nearby highway only waking me up sporadically. Also true that the rechargeable outlets were handily beside the bed. And it had a bathtub, which is my preference. I found nothing to alarm me about its cleanliness. Thus, the conundrum in how to score. My hotel in Pittsburgh the night before was in the luxury class, but the survey does not give points for newness and sumptuousness. Was equal value received at this minimalist site under review? I would have to say yes. But, be aware of the lack of any ambiance. This is as basic as it gets.
