"Edelen's Braidwood Inn"

Unfortunately while sleeping we were robbed of all our cash. But the owners son Owen was nice enough to give us a ride in his truck to the Stubbville train station. Don’t know what we would have done without his help!

I knew the manager, Gus Mooney, so I stopped in for the night after my flight to Chicago was cancelled. They must have had half of my flight booked in already. Rooms are a little dated, some handprints on the walls above the bed, but the bed did vibrate which made for a great night sleep.

I had to stay here overnight after a cancelled flight. Those nice shower curtain rings were sold to the owner by a guy named Del Griffith, whom he has been good customers with for a long time he told me. That vibrating bed was nice, but the mattress did smell of old beer and Crackerjacks. Owners son Owen and his wife came and picked me up to take me to catch the people train in Stubbeville next day, rather long ride in the back of that pickup and their dog wasn't very friendly.

The vibrating bed was a real treat. And the powder blue rooms were a real visual experience, Even the curtains matched the bed spread. The front desk person was also very helpful. He managed to get me a discount on the discount, so I broke even.

Decent place. You'll need a major credit card, but they do honor the discount credit cards as well. He'll have to charge you for a double, but with the discount, it'll come out even. Also, bring your own pillow if you're allergic to sponge. Spotty shower service, water shuts off randomly. Transportation options to/from are unconventional.
