Kevin Standlee: Fandom Is My Way of Life

This morning, travelswithkuma helped me evaluate our hotel room in the Atlantis. We have a room in the "atrium tower" — the middle of the three — on the 16th floor. It's a reasonably nice room, although there are things I wish it had that it doesn't.

Although it's a good room in many respects, and larger than lots of rooms in which I've stayed, I do miss having a mini-fridge, especially as there is a grocery store across the street and a 24-hour Wallgreen's and 7-Eleven only a short walk away. As I said earlier, Lisa may bring her electric ice chest with her so we can store milk and other small perishables in the room.

With such an otherwise spacious layout, including a large bathroom, there's a peculiarity in the layout that has the toilet crammed into a cubbyhole that makes it feel more cramped that our trailer in Mehama. Also, the placement of the towel bars is such that there's no easy way to lay out a towel for use when getting out of the shower/tub, which seems strange to me. I have no complaints about the water temperature or pressure. Lisa wishes they had variable-flow outlets, though; there's only one valve, and it's either on or off, with the valve only controlling the temperature.

I reckon we'll be comfortable enough here. I just wish the room rate during the convention was the same as the bargain two-nights-for-$60 we're paying during this stay!
