All Keyed Up

The Holiday Inn is in an area full of other hotels--think Breezewood. The lobby was nice, and I think breakfast will be pretty good. Check-in was fast, and I chose a room on the 4th floor (out of 4). I didn't realize that this hotel has outside doors. I took the elevator to the 4th floor and found my room... Only to have the key not.work. I went back downstairs and they made me another key.

Back at the room, I put down my stuff and looked around. I also didn't realize that my room would have a balcony overlooking a river! The room itself is fine. A bit dated but comfortable.

I still needed to get my.duffle bag from the car, so I went back down to get it. I get back to the room, and the key doesn't work! So I go back to the desk and get it reprogrammed. This time, one of the gentlemen behind the desk came up with meI tested it on the pool door to make sure it worked.

After I dropped my bag, I realized that I forgot my wine in the car. I checked my key before I went downstairs and it did not work! So I got the wine and went back to the lobby. Again. This time, the guy made me 3 keys. Hopefully one will work going forward.

I am currently on my balcony with a gin and tonic watching bald eagles fly around over the river. Dinner will be salad and appetizers. My favorite way to eat on the road!Read more
