The #hotel manager asked me how this one compares to the previous hotel. No answer.
I mean, I like some things more and some things less, but I would probably need 3 months in each to decide whether one is definitely better.
-
The new #hotel room is a lot smaller than the previous one. And no drawers, so either my clothes must remain in the suitcases be hung up.
This isn’t the worst hotel or room I’ve had since I got to #NYC, so I’m not complaining. Well, except for the abominably slow #hotel_Wi-Fi #Internet service. It is almost as though they have a dial-up modem connecting the network to the wider network of networks called the Internet.
-
The new #hotel's #inet is considerably slower. Around 1.2 Mbps down, 1.5-9 Mbps up. Before any #VPN, so it is even slower in reality.
-
I've been occasionally glancing across at the building across the street. After being here for some time, I just realized that the top of a person's head that I've been seeing is actually some piece of artwork attached to a wall. I've been at this #hotel more than a month.
-
@geniusmusing There was one next to my #hotel when I worked in New Hampshire ( #nh ) for a month. I had no cash, but I had plastic, and they took it. I ate there twice a day for the first three weeks. Maybe I was just hungry, but #Five_Guys seemed really good.
The #nyc franchisee could just not run them well, but this is quite a different experience.
-
The microwave oven in this #hotel room is not working. I suppose it is probably a circuit breaker that flipped.
-
I'm out of #yogurt, but I'll go downstairs and have some of the inferior stuff the #hotel provides. Meanwhile , #coffee is ready. #YoCo.
-
I went to the #hotel's laundromat, since today is my only day off. #coin-laundry day.
-
Working from the hotel today. First thing I discovered is that ... with our "Enterprise" rules enforced, you cannot log into the #hotel's captive portal with Edge. You have to use Firefox or Internet Explorer.
We'll soon be back to distributing little hotspots for mobile access, because travellers will not be able to connect any other way.
-
I'm starting to wonder what the #Hotel's ISP is doing to guests' traffic. My #VPN keeps disconnecting for several minutes at a time. Fortunately, Mullvad's client software blocks everything until the VPN successfully re-connects. (I've always just used my system's #OpenVPN software with previous VPN providers, but I could never get it to do this.)
-
Went on a walk after I had my #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). Saw some sort of rally going on. Realized it was time to urinate. Walked back to the #hotel … and housekeeping was in my room.
It was close. If it had been much closer, it would have been time for #Depends.
-
The hotel's laundry rooms are not recommended. Poorly maintained equipment, water drips on the floor, dryers don't have anywhere to vent to ... so the room heats up as you use it.
As a whole, I wouldn't recommend this #hotel at all.
-
Found CVS. Pretty close to the office. The store is pretty small, but they do have some non-medical stuff. #Yogurt, bread, peanut butter acquired. Also #decaf #coffee. Unfortunately, both #hotel and office have Keurig machines, so I bought the coffee in K-cups.
-
Eating too much high-fat, high-calorie food. There are not any grocery stores nearby, and the #hotel room does not have a refrigerator or microwave oven. Thus, I can buy restaurant food (with its too-large portions) or go hungry.
-
Someone is having a get-together at the #hotel (or somewhere really close to the hotel) tonight. Their PA system sounds distorted.
They aren’t excessively loud, so hopefully, they won’t disturb my rest.
-
Stopped on the way back to the #hotel to wash my laundry. Today is #coin-laundry day.
It seems that oldies station #KRTH ( #K-earth_101 ) fully changed from a 1955-1973 format to a 1980s format (the station plays in the laundromat).
While I still enjoy the music, I was still surprised that the nation’s #1 oldies station abandoned the version of the oldies format that made them the leader. For my part, they used to play songs that I’d never heard anywhere else.
As for the laundromat, during the entire time I was there, fewer than ten people were ever there. In contrast, the hotel laundry room is a tiny place, and there were three people already in there yesterday when I was going to wash.

Had a conversation with #Daddy_A over #Wire ... basically a text chat ... about the areas he’d driving through. Some large-ish cities in Great Lakes states. The way that much of what is visible from the highway are just skeletons of industry that is long gone. The importance of getting to the #hotel early, before dark, and not leaving anything in the car.
In all of this, I’m hearing a thoughtful, contemplative person who has finally found his voice. He’s using words longer than five letters long, spelled correctly, with proper punctuation and discussing concepts that I’m only aware of because of some of the courses I took in college.
(I guess some of those discussions about what I was studying sunk in. I did not know he was paying attention.)

A tip: no matter how pricey* the #hotel, bring your own soap and shampoo and TP.
There’s something wonderful about using products that do not make your skin feel like you just poured a corrosive chemical over yourself ( or rubbed sensitive parts with sandpaper ), but the industry does not want to pay for such products.
* I work for the US government. As a rule, government does not pay for the highest priced hotels. But when I was in #PR ( #Puerto_Rico, not to be confused with Google’s #Page_Rank algorithm ), the only hotels available were in the luxury tourist area. I found this to also be true there.
-
Seeing the big #TV in my #hotel room, I’m starting to wonder how much longer until those go away.
I’m sure most travellers bring their own screens and rely on Internet access to connect them to whatever they wish to view. A lot of them probably also use the television, at least for now.

@geniusmusing @guizzy After I saw the single cup machine at the #hotel, I bought a $20 #coffee maker that automatically brews “12 cups” (tiny cups) of Folger’s decaf every morning at 05:00.
I’m quite satisfied with it. It is much better than the coffee they brew downstairs and the coffee in the office. (I am not a coffee snob.)
