I stayed at the Wills Fargo Motel last night instead of at the tacky Royal Hawaiian Motel down the road

It turns out that the Wills Fargo is a better deal than the Royal Hawaiian, where I've often stayed on other trips out here.

Wills Fargo costs roughly the same, but is cleaner and not so dilapidated. True, the Wills Fargo is also blander, and lacks the weird 70s' styling of the Royal Hawaiian.
