Changed hotel name to boutique hotels, made a $100 damage deposit mandatory for debit or credit or cash. Desk agent hand wrote on a paper list secure credit info, for the transition to the new owner. Said release for deposit takes multiple days, credit or debit. Odd for a branded hotel, awkward for a transition in ownership. But pleasant desk agent. For an aged hotel building with several system deficiencies, many for building (parking entry, pool area…) keycard access locks inoperative locations and one fire protection equipment several years out of inspection date, with missing stairway fire hose at least one location. Whoops. Ramada by Wyndham… and booked good rate through Hotels.com. Did as special rates is intended, got me here as opposed to similar remote rate deals for a couple of the other about 10 hotels on this major for the area intersection, most hotel parking lots showing mostly empty as the ice storm tonight is both East and West by about a highway hour.
But seeming clean and sanitary. Relatively quiet.
