I spent the night Saturday at the Hotel Bothwell. It is a historic hotel that has been nicely refurbished. Now I know that some want the hermetically sealed, hypo allergenic room that neither light no sound penetrate, but that's not me. My room was small but on a corner in the hotel so I had two windows. As a bonus, they even open if you'd like some fresh air. And, if you enjoy that sort of thing, you can hear a nearby bell tower toll on the hour, and the sound of train whistles blowing in the night. What better way to spend the night after riding an old rail line. The hotel staff loves bikers and doesn't even give you a second glance getting on the elevator with your bike. But, if you prefer, they are willing to store it for you in the basement. They also will hold luggage for the day if you want to drop it off in the morning before you do an out and back and then spend the night with them.
