Dick and I are on our way to Florida. When we travel, my favorite hotel chain is Hampton Inn because of their decor, comfort, and cleanliness. Breakfasts not so much… They don't stand out from any other hotel breakfasts. Here is a cozy corner of the lobby at the Hampton Inn in Madison, Wisconsin where we stayed last night.

This was our room number. Black and white photos label everything everywhere… love it!

This is where we ate breakfast this morning. The long narrow table was conducive to meeting and chatting with other guests… much like a bed and breakfast atmosphere.

Tonight we are settled into a Mount Vernon, Illinois Hampton Inn. This is the lobby… feels like home.

This is our room number. Coincidentally, the black and white stop sign is the same photo that identified our room last night at the Madison, Wisconsin Hampton Inn. You might not see that as strange, but there are approximately a dozen different photos that are used over and over throughout the hotel as room markers, so the chance of getting the same photo is rather slim. How appropriate, though… "Stop." That's just what we have done.
