This was an uneventful day spent mostly driving down the I-5 from Marysville, Washington to McMinnville, Oregon.
To save money and for its proximity to the Evergreen Aviation Museum, I chose the Red Lion Inn for our lodging. The tax on the room was only about $1!It wasn't really horrible but it made the Holiday Inn look much more professional by comparison. Here, the desk clerk seemed like a student with an after school job. The room, while well-equipped, clean and tidy, smelled of a cheap, sickly-sweet room deodorizer. The building backed onto a residential subdivision so there was some noise from people yelling in their yards, music playing and dogs barking.
The do-it-yourself breakfast was included. The breakfast room was rather dark. They had that same yucky looking gravy we'd seen at the Holiday Inn, but at least there were waffle irons.
