The article “Room Service” appears in Bill Bryson book I'm Stranger Here My Self". This article is mostly about Bryson’s huge admiration for old motels than the modern motels.
Bryson loves everything about motels. Bryson’s golden age appears to be the same time for motels too, in the 1950s. I’m guessing that could be a reason why he so crazy about motels. Even in this period of time, Bryson still get excited by opening motel room. There we two essential types of motels as Bryson mentioned. The good one and the other one which Bryson and his father always stayed at. One night, while Bryson and his family were traveling from Washington, DC to New England he suggested that they should stop and rest at old fashioned motel. Everyone disagreed with the idea, but his wife insisted on having look. The place was totally out of shape, so they rested at nice Comfort Inn.
oh i really like you chapter
ReplyDeleteAlthough Bill Bryson's chapter "Room Service" made some good points on how old motels are better than the modern ones, but i believe that the modern motels have better and numerious of services than the old motels.
ReplyDeleteBrysons show his admiration towards the old motels and their good character, but in truth, modern are way better and well orgonized. For example, modern motels have welcoming, dressing area, a free breakfast, vibro-matic beds, which gives you a massage, a big TV, a gleaming bathroom, and room service. All of this makes modern motels way better the old motels.
