You almost get what you pay for.

You get what you pay for in most cases, but even at the modest price the Applegate Inn fell short. It's the cheapest of everything and some of those things need to be replaced to include the shower head and bath mat, both pictured. Also, you're backed up to an expressway and across from a rail line so it's rather loud at times. I took a 'shower' and a nap then left rather than spend the night.
