Traveling man recounts a hotel stay and service mix ups

A traveler details a rough hotel stay with a bell boy porter, no water in the washstand, and a bus driver as barber, dining and room service roles blending into a single weary routine. He recalls the odd hospitality, the meal service, and the bellboy’s odd multitasking before departure. The excerpt also notes a fraternal lodge memorial and a Grove’s Tonic advertisement.
