During a recent adventure from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to Burnaby, BC, my humans decided to stop over at the Best Western Hotel in Liberty Lake, Washington. Let me tell you, as BOB, your well-travelled rubber duck, this turned out to be one quack-tastic choice!
From the moment we entered the lobby, we could feel the welcoming atmosphere. The friendly staff greeted us with smiles that could brighten even the cloudiest of days! Their warm and welcoming attitudes are exactly what every traveller needs—whether you’re human or, in my case, a charming rubber duck. They checked us in with ease, assured us that we had everything we needed, and informed us about the happy hour starting in a couple of hours.
The room at the Best Western Hotel was not just spacious and clean, but also incredibly comfortable. It was so inviting that I almost felt like nestling down for the night early.
But the cherry on top of our stay was the legendary happy hour hosted by none other than the enthusiastic Nick! By day, he’s a mechanic, but by evening, he transforms into the life of the party at the hotel. With delicious beverages flowing and a taco bar that would make anyone’s mouth water, my humans and I felt like we were at a five-star fiesta!
Nick had a talent for bringing people together, and as we enjoyed our tacos, stories flowed like a river of laughter.
We met a travelling couple and their little duckling, who were visiting family before a major surgery—what bravery! There was also a fellow motorcycle enthusiast sharing tales of the open road, and a couple who were there to pick up a new car; they had once babysat Evil Knievel’s son! Can you believe it? Each person has a story, and when you take the time to engage, it adds colour to your experience.
After a delightful evening, we followed Nick’s recommendation and headed to a charming, locally owned restaurant. Filled with camaraderie and culinary delights, we returned to our cozy nest at the Best Western Hotel. The comfortable room and quiet surroundings ensured a restful night’s sleep, leaving us rejuvenated for the next day’s adventures.
The next morning, we woke up refreshed, thanks to the delightful complimentary breakfast, and set off for Burnaby with smiles on our faces and fond memories in our hearts. Liberty Lake turned out to be a hidden gem, and I couldn’t be happier to call it a part of my rubber duck adventures!
