Good idea, but my grinders are all two prong (not grounded). The drum fan is three prong, works fine, and palm tree is two prong, also works fine. Seems to be load related, but haven't really dug into it.

Then maybe it's the grinder? Test at home outlet? But I'd be amazed if you haven't already.

I like the noodling!! All three grinders I tested cause the issue on my exterior outlet of the motel, but not other outlets in the motel. All work at home also.
It's something with that outlet/run, just need to get underneath and figure out what.

I put out a mailbox with "air bnb review submission box" written on it, and got two 
Redo the connections at each step of the circuit. Make sure you didn’t use the stab holes - they’re the worst. Wrap the wires clockwise around the screws or use the screw clamps if it has them. Sounds like you’re losing some amperage capacity if it’s only that circuit that doesn’t work which sounds like a bad connection. If no luck, swap that breaker for one that works elsewhere and see what happens.
Also, if it’s an exterior mounted outlet then perhaps it wasn’t sealed well and is already corroding internally, which could cause the same issue you’re having.

Is it a gfi or regular outlet?

Regular outlet, regular breaker. Again, haven't even started to troubleshoot it yet, was just in my notes from the week as something to look into later.

Have been on a few trips with the motel since June. Good times as always.
New truck for @Hokie LX
New led sign for the motel. Think I'll stick it in one of the windows inside so you can see it from outside.
I've recently developed the need to transport cars. The motel's lift makes the ramp door too steep for cars, so I picked up some 6' ramps via Amazon from vevor. They seem well made for the $400 price point.
Even with the ramps, the flip up portion of the ramp door was interfering, and the ramp door had no lip to latch them onto.
So, I took off the flip down part and made notches in the door for the ramps to latch in. Seems to work well. I'll test it with a car in the next day or so.

The sign is killer!

New ramps worked great. Ramp door is still ****ed, but usable.

Time to start upgrades on the motel again after a year off.
So I started cuttin'.

This is how good stuff starts. Please tell me there was some beer too.
I love it. The sign will look epic there. I was also thinking of other uses for the area. Mailbox to avoid porch pirates? Pass through for short order kitchen? “Beer Me” hole to keep the fun going all night long? Bathroom view to add to the mystique of the structure?

I am trying to figure out how to put a tap handle on the outside with a keg inside without installing another fridge (not sure that's possible). I need to figure out how to permanently mount my mailbox too, lol.
Keg, bucket of ice. CO2 charged I hope, I hate pumping those things. Keg could go with the propane?
