"Excuse me, is there a hotel near by?"
It was a strange question for the waitress to answer, instantly deciding that the two most have been new. With the way the streets shifted, it was impossible to estimate if anything was near at all. So she shrugged. "You should be able to find Bates Motel easily enough."
And that was all she said before setting the bill down and leaving.
