Since the “Great Flood of 2015”, we have been a resident of the local Residence Inn since May 19.  They provide breakfast daily, “happy hour” 3 days a week, and all the stuff needed to stay in their rooms.  We are in a studio room – king size bed, living area and full kitchen with most of what you would need to stay there.

Here are some of our musings.

• Our larger couch is way more comfortable to sit on to watch movies.
• Streaming movies hasn’t been a problem.  They provide decent wifi.
• The knives they provide SUCK!
• 4 plates for the both of us is not enough if we eat/prepare more than one meal a day.
• 4 glasses are not enough either.
• 4 utensils for eating is definitely not enough!
• They should provide a sponge for the kitchen. 
• We miss our washing machine.
• The coffee maker just isn’t the same.
• We miss our gas stove.
• Electric stovetop is easier to clean than our gas stovetop.
• It is ridiculous that they will come into the room to change the towels and make our bed every day.  
• Glad they have the “We are all set for today” sign.
• Not sure we could live full-time in 450 sq ft.
• Walls are nice to have.
• Cleaning up 450 sq ft is easier than 1300 sq ft.
• The Dog likes his daily walks – there are police dogs in training staying here and he really likes leaving his scent on every bush!
• We won’t miss carting our recyclables from the hotel to the house.
• The hotel should make a better effort at recycling.
• We have generated a lot more waste in the last 2 months. 
• This may be larger than our RV, but it feels more confining.
