While
Newburgh felt like a HoJo's should back in 2002, its guest rooms
had suffered from several modifications. Most serious were the
changes to the bathrooms. Unfortunately even as the second vanities
were retained, they had been replaced with vanity "units"
that looked similar to the cheap prefabricated units found in
home improvement centers. |

But
nothing good can be left alone for very long. Note that Bob's
single room was appointed the same as the double room that Dan
and I occupied. However there are two glaring problems. First
the railing on the balcony was replaced and worse there is a "wall-o-stucco"
blocking the view from the balcony. |

Just when you
thought it might be safe to open your eyes again--it's an overgrown
"porte-cochere-o-stucco." But that's not the end of
Newburgh's hideous and wasteful transformation into a gaudy-tacky
stucco-motel--turn the page. |
