 Great Travels

Hotels ":![Hotels "](img/hotels-"--.jpg) The first great customers ir commercial hotels " were traveling salesmen, imetimes called "commercial travelers," and irly hotels " were almost always built in or very ose to railroad stations, so patrons would not ive to wrestle their bags and sample cases to ss convenient locations. The British railways jilt many of the first large hotels " at their ations throughout the United Kingdom, and e hotels " of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian ational railways were early Canadian landmarks, st as various "depot hotels "" sprang up along the ilroad lines as the American frontier moved est during the great hotel-building period fol-wing the Civil War. At the same time, hotels " ', la gare were opening in every city in Europe.
The impact of the air age on hotels " was even >re dramatic. Airport hotels " have been built every large city in the United States, espe-Jly at important interchange points. At least hotels " and motels operate near Chicago's Hare airport. With their "courtesy cars," pro-ling free transportation to and from the air-rt, these hotels " are especially convenient for 3 traveler staying overnight between planes or ;king to avoid traffic jams en route to and from the heart of town. As more and more factories, offices, warehouses, and shopping centers move out into the suburbs, car rental services available at both airports and nearby hotels " enable businessmen to call on many of their customers without having to go into town at all.
Very inexpensive hotels " are found in all Danish cities, a special feature of thrift being the so-called Mission hotels ". They are clean and well run and you may have a single room for $1 to $1.50, a double room for about $2, service included. They are a wonderful travel bargain, and smart students, whatever their religion or lack of it, use them right along. No alcoholic beverages are served, yet you should by no means confuse these pleasant Danish Mission hotels " with the frankly dismal "Temperance hotels "" of Britain. They're a wholly different breed.
