I'm in Virginia visiting friends. Like usual I booked through Priceline since I'm cheap and will stay anywhere. I'm in this place called Aloft. It's far cooler than I am. Very modern decor, a bar as you walk in, and a large man named Lars downstairs who will bring us "anything we may need". Oh, and a floor to ceiling windoiw so I can sit on the couch and look into the shower.

I've done the automatic doors at a couple of the Aloft Hotels. Talk about super modern. Too much stainless, aluminum and fru fru colors for me. I think it would be like staying in a hospital. Give me dark stained woods and leather.

Go to the bar and see if they have those wasabi nuts. They're awesome.

I know how you feel. We are in Nashville right now, staying at the Hutton Hotel. It also has the glass shower window thing.

It's far too nice for an Okie like myself.

In reply to Chebbie_SB:

$50a night for 4 nights. We're in Chesapeake. Sadly there are no pics of me on the treadmill but we did spend some time in the pool.

Beats the living daylights out of a no-tell motel !

(When I looked at the linked site, I read it as "Cheapskate" instead of Chesapeake...)

You didn't by any chance go to the Smithsonian to ogle the Tucker (not sure of the dates...)

You'll need to log in to post.
