An Unusual but Excellent Outcome at the Breakers Inn

So I'm looking for a place to stay in Gualala...

I did my usual Google search and called a couple  of places and then called the Breakers Inn and talked to Shawna. 

She seemed friendly enough and willing to negotiate a little over the phone so I told her I was just a lowly cyclist who needed a place to rest his weary head and soak his sore knee. 

That got her down from $165 to $135. 

I told her it was 7 pm and I know she didn't want the room to go vacant. 

That got her down to $120. 

I told her my top drive out price was a hundid. 

Then she asked if I had muscles. 

Huh?

I recovered quick and said Yeah - I been riding without a shirt on all day. 

She said come in without a shirt and we'll talk. 

So I did and I ended up in the Mendocino Room with a view of the sunset for $99.90.

  1. You definitely have a way with negotiation. Note to self "take William with you to get the best deal". Quite brassy of yourself to come in shirtless. Way to go William. It was worth it. The views from your deck are amazing.
