I'm glad you tossed in that little qualifier at the end. Use to be that when
guests from out of town visited, they stayed at one of several inexpensive
places. Two years ago was when we first started noticing that those places
were no longer cheap and no longer available. Rather than fight city call, I
set up a guest room to accommodate those folks who drop in for whatever
reason because even if they are willing to pay, there are just no rooms
available anymore.

Used to be that one could stay in Gilroy, but now the closest place for
casual lodging appears to be Monterey.
