Hotel Girls…
My girls, ages 2 and 3, promptly putting themselves to bed after their bath. They have the hotel routine down pat! :)
Our family likes to travel – road trips to be exact. We prefer to stay at the Marriott chain and have been able to achieve Gold status with them which means free upgrades. Under the Fairfield banner we are able to take advantage of roomsaver walk-in coupons while still accumulating points which is a plus. Our preference is Residence Inns as they have kitchenettes. We can prepare our own meals rather than rely on restaurant food all the time when on the road.
My only complaint is that if you leave anything behind, don’t expect to see them ever again. Twice now I have forgotten something at two Marriott hotels (one in Burlington, Vermont, the other in Halifax, Nova Scotia). In Burlington it was a brand new pair of pants I bought, tags still on…in Halifax it was the girls’ spring jackets. Despite contacting them right away and even telling them where to locate them in the room, their housekeeping swears they never saw them/recovered them. One of the jackets my mother had purchased for my oldest (my youngest was wearing at the time) it is worth nothing but has a lot of sentimental value as my mother purchased it (she is deceased). There’s customer service for you…it doesn’t exist anymore. I am just thankful we didn’t leave the laptop behind!
