[at-l] Accomodations, Hanover, West Lebanon, etc.

   Someone recently asked me if there's anywhere good to stay in West 
Lebanon, NH.  (presumably as an alternatiuve to staying/zeroing in Hanover)

   Sorry, don't know of anywhere reasonably priced.  There's a Radisson 
Hotel, which is probably prohibitively expensive.  There are a few other 
places, but I'm loathe to recommend (or even point out) places that I'm not 
personally familiar with; if anyone really wants to know, get in touch with 
me and I'll send you the information I've got, but it's right outtta the 
Yellow Pages and is NOT to be considered a reccomendation.

  Most thru-hikers that spend the night in Hanover stay at one of the 
Dartmouth residence halls that take in hikers.  They are NOT all crazed 
party scenes (tho the good ones are!!!); there's usually a "quieter" house 
each year, and it's not too hard to determine which one this is.  There are 
also 2 reasonably priced hotels within 1 1/2 miles from the center of town, 
the Chieftain, and the Sunset, easily reachable by thumb or cab.  Also, 
there's a Day's Inn and a Super 8 Motel easily reachable by cab.

    Avoid the Hanover Inn unless you're on an unlimited budget, or someone 
else who likes to throw money away is paying, or unless you're splitting the 
room around nine ways.  It's ridiculously overpriced, the restaurants aren't 
very good, the wine list is execrable, and you can't smoke in the bar.  
Geez, all this for $189.00?  I don't think so.....

    Anyway, to sum up, there are no CHEAP places to stay in Hanover, tho 
there are some reasonable ones not too far away.  Anyone needing more info 
(other places, phone numbers, etc.) can contact me anytime.
