I lived there from 1967 to 1972. Great little town, and home to the annual Mountain State Forest Festival which was held earlier this month (October).

Considering the intimate nature of the image, wonder if Mr. Vachon is the one doing the unpacking.

No TV but if you're lucky you can watch the bedbugs and cockroaches fight.

It was not entirely unknown for men of a certain height to use the sink for other purposes, especially on cold nights when a trek down the hall seemed particularly daunting.

Must be another bulb on the room's ceiling -- or maybe it's a nice combination of flash and available light.

Free electric lighting and hand towels included in room rate. Modern water closet facilities conveniently located on every floor! Hotel bath and wash room available (25¢).

Edward Hopper Suite!! I'm rolling around on the carpet. Love this place!

What do you want to bet that is only one room and every room in the inn is like that. This was before the days of luxury suites we have now.

I know the hotel may have been something of a "flophouse", and you might have been able to hear your neighbors and smell every cigarette ever smoked in the hotel, but there is something comforting about those old rooms with wallpaper, decent millwork around the windows and doors, and a very basic bed. Takes me back to many happy days in the homes of my grandparents.
