Hotels as refuges and roads to travelusty tales of inns
A humorous travel sketch from Nast's Almanac 1875 critiques American hotels through Josh Billingson style prose. It portrays cramped rooms with dilapidated furniture, poor breakfast fare, and overbearing service, contrasting grim inns with ideal, well run establishments. It references court week, travel across the United States, and the author’s grumbling persona about lodging.
