what can you get with $1? how about 385 of them?

That’s right kids, for the low price of $385 / night ($350 if you belong to AAA) [including tax] you can stay at one of America’s premiere hotels. Which one, you ask? Perhaps the Hilton, or the Hyatt. Surely, a 5 star establishment. No? 4 stars, then, with gourmet food and 24k bathroom fixtures? What, surely not a 3 star hotel?! Nope, for only $385 / night, you can stay at the one, the only… the ECONO LODGE! That’s right, you get: 1 king bed, a table, chairs, even a desk and… a REMOTE-CONTROLLED TV! Living the high life, we are! And the deluxe continental breakfast… consists of your favorites, bread, bagels (from a bag - think Lenders) and store bought sticky buns. There are even a toaster and microwave, along with little packets of butter and jam. All this for…. only…. $385 / night ($350 if you’re lucky!).
*addendum: A “credible” “source” writes that the shower head “flew” off the wall, spraying water everywhere. The friendly front desk clerk perkily said that they were just waiting for the parts to arrive.
