Monticello Bowling Lanes

I’m a novice bowler who bowls once every three years while on vacation to some small, resort town at a b&b so take my review with a grain of salt if you are an avid, experienced bowler. The exterior of the building has seen better days, and in broad day light, it looks rather run down. There is some weird parking in the front of the building but only enough for half a dozen cars. Back out straight into the street at your peril.
Inside, the interior is circa 1990’s, clean and cheerful. The bowling shoes are standard, but the balls have seen much better days long ago. The have chips and gouges all over. The games are computerized so it’s one less thing to undermine your fun. There is table seating of four a step above for those waiting their turns and a stool in front of the computer below. The computer even gives you visual suggestions on where to throw and curve the ball for maximum results. If only my hand/​eye coordination could follow directions. The ball retriever takes a bit of time, and the pin picker-​upper gets stuck sometimes and doesn’t knock down the pins. I call that an extra, free turn. You can push a button to force the machine to collect the pins.
I forget the price of renting the shoes and per game, but I don’t remember them being out of the ordinary. We met some lovely retired people bowling next to us, and in the other half of the building were tons of children. It seems the people assigning lanes takes into consideration where you should be placed based on how childless you are. I really appreciate the consideration because bowling is challenging enough for me without the distraction of screaming kids.
