I am in love with this hotel. THIS is what I needed. Where it's not about the destination but about the property. It's a registered historical landmark; I know this because there's a book of histroic hotels on the coffee table and it's in there. We are on the 24th floor in the added tower section with views of the river, the Apollo Space Museum, the Gerald R Ford Presidential Library/Museum, and the rapids themselves. It's pretty freaking cool. But more in a moment.
Got up at 4am, again, to take the friend to work. She is staying at our place while we are gone this weekend so fine, doing us a favor, I do you one. But damn if I wasn't up earlf AF yet again. Note it is 7:30 here as I finally slept in. Got back, putzed around, waited for B to get up. Made sure everything in the house was ready for us to leave and we headed out around 1:15.
Arrived at a little after 3, checked in, and explored the hotel. Found the hidden door. It really is a door with a keypanel and a plaque that says "for those in the know". Went inside and found the coolest, funkiest bar with patio area. Was very impressed.
For dinner we ate in the room and watched multiple episodes of the mandalorian. Yep. That was our big exciting night. I then took a bath in the whirlpool fancy ass tub. Needed that too.
Today is a spa day, followed by dinner at Ruth Chris. Ahhh.
