Marifah Inn Sweetwater, TX

My goal had been to get as close as possible to WeatherfordTX-USA so I could spend as much time as possible with good friends. I also wanted to explore remote sections of West Texas, which unexpectedly took much longer than anticipated, which precluded camping which meant motoring past darkness which meant a motel for the overnight. Using my cellphone/google maps, I projected where it was most likely I’d be by (22:00),—SweetwaterTX-USA—and the least expensive place. My previous experiences with low-cost overnights meant there could be some discomforts: no ice machine, poor mattress, dirty/bedbugs, etc. My overnight at the Marifah Inn had few discomforts, only a disheveled window curtain and slow a/c unit. The best thing was Neeser, the excellent receptionist who made me feel most welcome after my long day motoring. I especially liked that she adeptly handled a discrepancy between my online reservation and front-desk arrival. She also adroitly handled my request for a ground floor room due to my disability. This was an excellent budget motel, and it has my coveted “iWheel of Approval!”
