Yea well spreading them out like this cost a ton of money and resource. Each hotel had to have two troopers on duty and an ambulance sitting outside 24/7. There were 5 hotels within a block of one another where we stayed so that was 10 troopers and 5 ambulances wasted sitting there getting OT I am sure.

No doubt - no imagine if they were doing 50 rooms at each rest stop 2 star hotel around instead of hundreds at these Large urban locations

I was just addressing why properties like intercon or Hilton actually made some sense. They can absorb 6 times what a small select service can and are in a convenient radius to boot.
