Creeva’s World 2.0

Tonight the weather was bad so instead of tak­ing what would be an unsafe over three hour com­mute home I decided I was going to get a hotel room.   My wife had called and warned me before I was really aware of the weather so she was aware with no sur­prises.   I man­aged to get a room that in a clear day would take me less then eight min­utes to get to the office.   Tonight it took me over twenty to get here.  The last three min­utes was get­ting into the snow entrenched park­ing lot that was on a slight incline and had about 5 inches of unplowed snow — I spun the car side­ways get­ting in.

When I was con­sult­ing I stayed in many hotels.  I also learned before you went any­where in bad weather to get a reser­va­tion.   So at this hotel close to work I had reserved my room, it came to around forty dol­lars before tax.    Let’s have a tour through the room and see if it it’s worth it.

The fol­low­ing pic­tures were taken with my cell phone so please excuse the quality.

This is my cof­fee table — seems some­one didn’t like it very much.

Bath­room shot one — some­what nor­mal right?

Still some­what nor­mal — not great by any means though…

OMG — WTF IS THAT????   First here we have the MELTED hair dryer plug  then you have that round knob next to it.   Did you know it took me a good five min­utes to get the light on in the bath­room because of that damn knob.   You see you have to turn it, and then the light is on a timer, when the timer runs out the light goes off.   Maybe this is a green ini­tia­tive by Days Inn.

Another stan­dard Bath­room shot.

Well I at least have tis­sues I can cry into.

I’m glad it wasn’t hot — I don’t really want to touch the air con­di­tion­ing knob.

Mobile blog­ging sta­tion / Bed shot.

Another bed shot.

Such neat and orderly hangars they have around here.

Ah — I can iron my clothes with this con­ve­niently placed iron­ing board.

On closer exam­i­na­tion — maybe I don’t want to use this iron­ing board.

Look a TV, The Bucket List is play­ing — I don’t think this hotel was on their list of stops in the movie.   Also if you adjusted the loca­tion of the TV — the pic­ture goes bad.  It’s not a wiring con­nec­tion either — it’s just retarded.

My mother had that lamp — she got it over twenty years ago.

My heater that doesn’t fully heat the room

I call this area the west wing.

I think this cof­fee maker would make a lot of peo­ple cry — and those sty­ro­foam cups are the only cups in the room.

My alarm clock, it would be my jelly bean sta­tion, but I don’t have any jelly beans.

Cross adver­tis­ing — I’m not sure which name is get­ting dragged through the mud on this deal.…

This is where the air con­di­tion­ing would have come out with if it was below freez­ing outside.

Well at least I have a smoke detec­tor, I’ll be safe for the night.  Some­thing looks a lit­tle wrong though.

Yes this is the way I found it.  So if I die in a fire tonight — you all know who is to blame.

I’ve stayed at bad places, but this may be one of the worst.  It does look nice on the out­side though.

BTW — I think I know what hap­pened to the iron and why it’s gone.   There seems to be a melted car­pet spot in just the shape of an iron on the floor — it didn’t quite come out though — pity.
