The other night, I was concerned that I might get snowed in while in Grand Rapids. So, I decided to look on the internet for a room just in case. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that this one motel was located at the foot hills of some mountain in Grand Rapids.
I have long suspected that most of these motel chains use canned pictures and not actual photos of the hotel of interest. I imagine that the actual view from the hotel will be something less pristine. 
Yep that’s definitely canned given that the highest elevation on a contour map is 200′, and Michigan sits on average about 500′ above MSL. Its good advertising though.
