Lea will always be #1 to us!
It happened today…our first guest! We have been working like mad men to get things ready for our first guests that were to arrive in four days. We had the carpenters (hammer and nails not Karen and Richard), plumbers, heating & cooling guys, painters and Moe the carpet cleaner moving in perefect rhythm and right on schedule when up drives Lea, fresh from the Grand Canyon and looking for the coziest bed in town. Not ones to shy away from a challenge, we told her to come back in four hours and we would have a little piece of Prescott heaven ready for her. Now, have you ever seen one of those home improvement shows where they have two minutes until “the reveal” and everything is total chaos and then miraculously after the commercial **POOF** it is gorgeous?? Well, not to toot our own motor lodge truck horn but that’s exactly what happened on this fine and fabulous Monday evening. After a glass of wine and a hot shower, the last I saw Lea she was rolling down the hill towards The Raven (a really hip restaurant and bar) on one of our bikes with the wind blowing through her hair. We hope she has sweet dreams…our #1 in #1.

I cannot thank you enough for the miraculous number one room! When my daughter and I first pulled up, our hearts sank when we saw ALL the furniture and rugs in the driveway. Then, up sprang a friendly face in the window that mouthed “We’re closed, but come on in anyway” We were told to come back in a few hours and we’d have a room! Everyone was busy, and with all the construction and confusion I couldn’t imagine how a room could be put together so soon. They must have taken pity on us looking so hot and tired from our trip. I figured there would be a bed with a clean towel on it. Period. Ha! The door was opened to a beautiful king sized bed with puffy pillows, the room was beautifully furnished with comfy chairs, a TV, and lovely coffee table book.There was a stack of fluffy towels, and shampoo and soothing lotion that sat in the back of a toy truck in the bathroom. Great touch! Not only that…….I was given a glass of cold white wine!!!! AND a bike to ride downtown! Oh, and when I came back, the bed was turned down with a sweet pack of chocolate Neccos on the pillow! Thank you, guys! Thank you a million times over. I may have been the number 1 customer, but will return again and again when I come to visit my daughter.
Cheers,
Lea

Wow! I was priveleged to be part of the long sometimes hair pulling process of the purchase of the motor lodge by the new owners. They were so committed and talented that their vision became my vision and there was no doubt that this place would be in willing, able, and tender hands. Now I am reading the review from their first guest and I am misty eyed! What a testimonial to their hard work and genuine care. It’s also a glimpse into the pleasures and comforts of future travellors lucky enough to discover the motor lodge. (P.S. Someday I want a ride in that orange truck!)
