Being the big spender that I am , I went for the super superior, not even asking what the differentiation was, and they never volunteered the information.

Upon entering the room, I looked to my right and admired the charming cinderblock architecture. When I looked to my left, I noticed the enclosed 10 foot or so long pool. My first reaction was, darn, had I known, I would have broght a bathing suit. Then, of course, I realized it was unnecessary @:-).

It was interesting comparing notes with my business associates who had other rooms at the motel. No one else had a pool, but one of them had a very interesting set of shower heads in their bathroom. This led us all to ponder whether this motel had always been geared toward the business traveler, or had changed their focus when the client we all were visiting across the street moved in.
Hmm... What was the motel called? That does sound curious...
