点评:This place has undergone a few changes since I stayed here years ago, but few or none are actual improvements for guests. They appear as if they were done by someone who has never stayed in a motel.
Motel 6 rooms have microwave ovens. My BaseCamp room did not.
Bargain hotels everywhere have coffee in the room. My BaseCamp did not. There was an electric kettle, with a broken lid and a cord that dangled behind the desk, but was not connected to power. In fact the cord was several feet short of being in reach any outlets, and there was no place it could be put to reach one. But even had the kettle been easy to use, there were no “hot” cups nor coffee packets. Really?
Free coffee was offered in the bar by the lobby, but it did not open until 8 a.m.
Rooms that cost above $125 or so have fridges. My BaseCamp room did not.
Being near the door the single overhead light left most of the room dim. The bedside reading light was fine, but the switch was located out of reach for someone lying in bed.
The shower door to the combination shower and tub did not fit properly so when one showers, the bathroom floor gets soaked, including the bathmat.
Liquid soap, shampoo, and conditioner are provided, but are bolted to the wall at the far end from the shower, and are chest high, so to use them when taking a bath one would have to stand up to reach them.
I have no idea how many bath takers stay in motels these days, nor how many climbers stay at BaseCamp, but back in my mountain days after a long time on the trail, a hot bath was a tonic for aches, pains, and attitude. If I had to clamber upright every time I needed soap or shampoo, I’ve had been inclined to pry the locked-down soap holder off the wall with my ice axe.
翻译:自从我几年前住在这里以来,这里经历了一些变化,但几乎没有什么真正为客人带来改善。这些变化看起来就像是一个从未住过汽车旅馆的人做的。
Motel 6 的房间有微波炉。我的 BaseCamp 房间没有。
所有经济型酒店的房间里都提供咖啡。我的 BaseCamp 房间没有。房间里有一个电水壶,壶盖坏了,电线垂在桌子后面,但没有接电源。事实上,电线离任何插座都只有几英尺远,而且也没有地方可以放。即使水壶很容易使用,也没有“热”杯子和咖啡包。真的吗?
大堂旁边的酒吧提供免费咖啡,但要到早上 8 点才开门。
价格超过 125 美元左右的房间都有冰箱。我的 BaseCamp 房间没有。
由于靠近门,唯一的顶灯使房间大部分区域都很暗。床头阅读灯还行,但开关位置太远,躺在床上的人够不着。
淋浴房和浴缸的门不太合适,淋浴时浴室地板会被浸湿,包括浴室地垫。
洗手液、洗发水和护发素都提供了,但它们都用螺栓固定在远离淋浴间的墙上,而且高度到胸口,所以洗澡时必须站起来才能拿到。
我不知道现在有多少洗澡的人住在汽车旅馆,也不知道有多少登山者住在大本营,但回想起我那段在山里长途跋涉的日子,洗个热水澡是缓解疼痛和调整心态的良药。如果每次需要肥皂或洗发水时我都必须直起身子爬上去,我就会倾向于用冰镐把锁好的肥皂架从墙上撬下来。
