    • The chairs are super comfortable here at the bar, kitchen island station, which we used a lot, I had my breakfast here sometimes, and then the kitchen, I love that they have like these little holes here, so you can see where everything is, because that's the one thing when you check into these type of hotels, you're opening all the cabinets constantly, because you don't know where anything is, and this way you're not slamming and opening the cabinets all the time, but they provide dish detergent, and also a detergent there, if you want to hand wash the dishes, they provided paper towels, dish towels, a cutting board, you know, there's a dishwasher, I didn't have any of the coffee here, just because they have complimentary coffee, you know, breakfast, so that's where I got my coffee in the mornings, and there's, you know, a trash can down here, then there is a full size fridge and freezer, and then we didn't end up using the stove, our microwave, but it's there if you need it, and they even have like a little topper here, so you don't make the microwave messy, or you don't get it messy, so that's awesome, and then everything you need to have a meal, I mean, we didn't use any of this, like it's untouched, but if we wanted to cook a meal, it's doable, they've got everything, that's where the entrance is, the dog bowls I put there, sometimes I put in the bathroom, just moved it around a couple times, this is really nice too, in the entryway, there is, it's not a full floor length mirror, but it's a big enough mirror, and I like how they have like this little board here, where you can clip things, I think sometimes we put our hotel key there, and I love these little hooks here, because that's where we put our keys, and then the dog leashes, so on this side is the TV and TV console, we didn't end up using the phone, we didn't use any of the drawers in the TV console, what we did use though with the TV is their Comcast, if you want to cast something from your phone, you change it to HDMI 1, and this will pop up, and that's the Comcast, Google Comcast, so basically I use that QR code, put it in my phone, put in the number there, and then on my phone, I go to the app, so something on Amazon Prime, I pull up Amazon Prime, and I pair it, and then I put in that this is spare room 5, which it shows you on the left there, and then it connects to your phone, I mean the app that you're using, and then you can watch whatever you want, and it'll project it to the TV, so I love that, that was really nice, and we use that every night, okay, so because this is kind of like an apartment style, the other room, there's another room here, this is the bedroom, and there is a door to separate the two rooms, and the bedroom is really spacious, this is a king-size bed, and it's kind of messy, because I'm packing now, since we're checking out, checkout is at noon, there is also a large TV in here, we didn't use a TV in here, because we liked watching TV in the living room, and there is drawers here, which my husband did use, he still has his clothes in there, and he's got his own little table here, where he can charge his devices, I wish their charging station was a little bit better, like it's very loose, like it's like kept on kind of like disconnecting, on my side, I didn't really have like a charging station, this clock was on the other side, and so I actually moved that clock from the other table to over here, so I can charge my devices, because I didn't have anything, like this doesn't have anything, where I can charge stuff, so and then I use these drawers, and there is a phone there, which I did not use, and Zoe is taking a little nap, right Zoe, do you like the view, it's a nice view, huh, she likes to people watch, yeah, you people watching, yeah, let me rub your bellies, okay, and then over here is like a light, and that's actually spacious right here, like the little area from here, the bed to the bathroom, there's a closet here, and a luggage rack, which I didn't end up using, because we put all our clothes in the drawers, since we're staying here for the long weekend, extra pillow blankets, if you use the sofa bed, which we did use, I did pull out the blanket there, a nice mirror here, so there's little wall art that they got here, for as spacious as a bathroom is, I wish they would have extended this, the sink vanity a little bit, because it's a little bit cramped, as you can see, we've got all our stuff laid out here, the plug was way over here, so if you bring anything, make sure it's got a long cord, because you know, it's kind of far away from the mirror, and the amenities, I don't know what you call it, the toiletries, you basically only get a there was no lotion, no q-tips or cotton balls, so if you need those items, I guess you just have to bring it yourself, they did provide tissue, so for the toilet, they did provide extra toilet paper, they had some towels here, down here, but they also had plenty of towels up here in the shower, I like that idea, because then after you're done taking a shower, you don't have to open up the door, the shower door, and all that cold air comes in, you can wipe down in the shower, and the towels don't get wet up there, and then it actually kind of like heats up the towels, the steam while you're taking a shower, so I love that they put the towels there, gave plenty of towels, great shower, very spacious, nice water pressure, they, you know, even have a little space for you to put your items, they had really nice shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel, I don't know what this brand is, but it was fantastic, a non-skid mat, which we didn't use, because we actually were fine not using that, but really nice bathroom, I also like this mirror here, that it's got like the ring light around it, so it's nice and bright when I'm applying makeup, very bright in here, which a lot of times these bathrooms are so gloomy and dark, so really great job with the bathroom, as far as things to do around here, there are plenty of dining options, actually just within walking distance, right across the street, there is a really nice pub called Gravity Heights, really nice and spacious, great outdoor area, where there's like a bar, dining, and we took, and it's pet friendly, so we took the dogs there, had lunch there one night, or one day, and then also had some drinks there another night, or I think it was the same night actually, but yeah, so it was a really nice area to hang out, and it's great that it's like just within walking distance, you can also have drinks here, if you want, there is like you know a nice courtyard, which I saw a lot of people hanging out there every night, it's a really nice space, and there is a bartender, and there are food I think on weeknights, but I believe on weekends there isn't any food, so just like keep that in mind, as far as the area, I really enjoyed walking my dogs in this area, so I feel like we're like just surrounded by a bunch of office buildings, but because it is the weekend, like it's pretty empty, like I don't really see anyone walking around, but the office area is really nice, the landscaping is nice, paved nicely, and there's sidewalks, so it's like a great area to walk your dogs, where you don't feel like you're walking in the street, it's like a lovely walk, so every morning I you know took different routes on different sidewalks, and the dogs really enjoy the walks as well, so I did mention we had lunch, had some drinks across the street at Gravity Heights, but we also had lunch and dinner, just about an eight minute drive to the, what's it called, Westfield UTC, it's a gorgeous outdoor mall, I didn't do any shopping there, but it's a really really pretty area to walk your dogs, and you know there's also so much dining there that's pet friendly, and they even have a dog park there, so it's a super pet friendly outdoor mall, so we went there, I think one night we had, we went to, I think it was an Italian restaurant, we had pizza and pasta, and then another night we went to, no I think, no for lunch, for lunch we went and had, I think it was called, was it called Fresh Kitchen, I forget the name of it, but we had lunch there, again super pet friendly, and everywhere around there is just like, it's just a really nice space, so there's plenty of you know places to eat, sit down, or if you want to do shopping, it's just a really nice area.

      The chairs are super comfortable here at the bar, kitchen island station, which we used a lot, I had my breakfast here sometimes, and then the kitchen, I love that they have like these little
