I use the lavender for several reasons.
1- it smells strongly enough that for a while she leaves her incisions alone.
2- it helps the incisions heal
3- avoids infection.
4- the calming effect

^ Oh. I did not know all that.

And my roommate's gay.

How did they get it to you? Do you write your name and address inside your hat ?

Just ermember me when you're famous(er) and invite me to some of those Hollywood parties.

Heck, you can get the studios to fly me over (as your bestest and dearest confidante, of course)

The airport hotels in Milwaukee have been blechy so I did some reading of reviews at expedia.com. The Comfort Suites was highly rated, clean, comfortable, etc.

Ugh, no. The room itself was fine BUT on an energy-saving timer. You stick your key card into a slot which activates the lights and a/c. That's fine - everyone wants to save energy and too many people leave the a/c and lights on when they leave the room.

Now, the whole building was hot and stuffy. I'm guessing it was 85-90 degrees inside, easily. The energy timer was on a 1 1/2 hour cycle. If you turned on the a/c, that lasted only one cycle. This meant that we were up every 90 minutes through the night reactivating the a/c.

When we complained at the desk, a woman walking by said "My room is the same!" So not a malfunction.

Hmmpf. What we like about hotels is not having to stress about the power. Leaving the a/c on all night is part of the hotel cost, to me.

Did this mean the room was less expensive? I hate to come into a hot and dark room.

Gawd I sound wasteful. But, when we use the a/c, it is really hot outside. Who wants to pay what can be paid for a room and come in to a room where they are uncomfortable and have to wait however long for it to cool off? I should say, we spend a lot of time in the rooms kicking back.

With that kind of meter on the utilities, you'd think it would be! The hotel was in line with other 2-3 star chain hotels like Radisson, Hampton Inn, Country Inn and Suites. I think it was something like $120/night.

MouseWife · 07-23-2008, 06:13 PM

Well, that isn't cheap! I guess time of year/location have to be considered but dang!

For that much, I expect breakfast, a workout room, and definitely a pool. A nice one, too.

My aunt stayed at a hotel in Anaheim that had the same thing. Fine to turn stuff off when you're not in the room but silly while you're in the room.

The PPH has a similar but not quite as nasty issue: the a/c system is hotel wide and they shut it off at like 3am. We learned this while having a bachelorette party up in one of the rooms. It was VERY hot. My friend complained and the room ended up comped. So was the stripper (but that's another story!)
