Day 1.4: A Tale of Two Hotels

So, we pulled into the InterContinental Suites (which was really nice) close to 6:00pm. We needed to check in quickly, get changed, and head back out to make our 7:00 dinner reservations. Surprise, surprise! Turns out we're at the wrong hotel! There's another InterContinental Suites, their sister hotel, just a few blocks away. And ironically enough, the clerk at the front desk of the first one was the actual sister of the clerk at the second one.

So, we go to the second one, try to check in, and our room isn't ready. Even though its after 6pm. The clerk very nicely comps our parking and gives us some extra points. Even so, we're scrambling to get clothes out of suitcases packed for two weeks in order to change in the lobby bathroom, and the extremely nice valet is trying to move our car to a spot out of the way since we're coming right back out.

Needless to say, Marsha is not really thrilled. She goes in to chat with the clerk and comes back out a few minutes later with the clerk and room keys. Don't know what she said, but I can only imagine.

In the end, we get changed and make it to Lola with time to spare. And the suite here is awesome. Quite roomy. While it's close enough to downtown, maybe next time we'll actually want to stay downtown. Location, location, location, you know.
