Last night when we couldn’t get out of New York we called Joe, whose flight was also canceled, and he’d booked a hotel room at The Maritime Hotel, which just so happened to be across the street from the Google offices and not all the way up in Midtown East. Also, it was still and expensive room (what room in Manhattan isn’t?) but it was less than where we were staying before. And it’s nice. So nice. Unlike where we were staying before. It was pretty much a no-brainer to book at The Maritime.

The shower in my room has to be one of the coolest I’ve ever been in, not counting the shower I used for part of the time while visiting Seattle. That one had two shower heads! This one has a mirror and shelves on one end. The other end has the knob to turn the shower on and no door. Surprisingly the water doesn’t really get out into the bathroom because the shower head comes straight down from the ceiling and isn’t at a slant. Also, The Maritime provides C.O. Bigelow products so I don’t need to go to Duane Reade to buy new shampoo and stuff because the stuff at the hotel isn’t good. I also love the bed. The back is so cute and I love how the sides have cubbies for a phone, an alarm clock, my book and a glass of water. And the lights on each side are awesome for nighttime reading.
