Famous quotes containing the words thayer and/or hotel:
“It looked extremely rocky for the Mudville nine that day;
The score stood two to four, with but one inning left to play.”
—Ernest Lawrence Thayer (1863–1940)
“The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.”
—William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)
