Motel Room WITH APPLIANCES!

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

My goodness!

Why, that's hardly a load at all in that dishwasher! Bob would definitely not approve!
Sometimes when I only have half a load like that, I'll double up with a friend and we'll share a load. Saves water and detergent.
Plus, it means we're spiritually bonded for the length of the Soak 'N Scrub cycle!

LOL!! Veg, you are tooooo much!! LOL!! Are you sure Lady Beth Ann didn't let the dye on too long honey??
 
Veg-- If it helps, I did use the SHORT WASH cycle, which I think saves at least one change of water. I do a lot of half-loads at home, which is why I liked the upper-or-lower rack half-load option on my former DW, the Frigidaire. However, the short cycle on my Maytag uses only 3 changes of water and 20 minutes of electricity, which doesn't seem too bad. I think I'd use at least that much water hand-washing them.
 
I think I'm gonna hafta start using the Candlewood suites whenever I travel, that place is great! I've been using StudioPlus / Extended stay motel, which comes with a kitchenette, but they are hardly anywhere near as equipped. They don't have a disposer or a dishwasher, but they do have a full-size range with oven. I do like the fact that they provide you with amenities, like dishwashing soap, and the popcorn. They've got some nice washers in the washroom too. Are those Speed Queens? The dual action agitator looks actually like a Whirlpool, but the SS tub looks like a S.Q.
 
WOW! That hotel room almost seems like an APARTMENT!Never seen dishwashers or disposals and microwaves in a hotel room.Did they give you dishes to use and wash in the dishwasher?-or were those your own?
 
All the dishes/pots & pans/utensils are provided with the room. I got one of these rooms several months ago for a friend who was visiting from out-of-state, and I liked it so much, I decided to try one myself. You also get a VCR/DVD player and a CD-player/clock radio. Well worth the $80.

I'm trying out a full suite (I stayed in a studio suite---really just one room) when I go to the Guthrie Theater to see "The Great Gatsby" in a couple of weeks. I enjoy staying with friends in Mpls, but getting a motel room makes it feel more like a mini-vacation. I used to have a studio apt. there, but I don't go to the city every weekend like I used to. Now that I have a yard and garden to care for, I'm a little more of a homebody.

The washers/dryers in the laundry room are GE.
 
That dishwasher

was the one I had in the last two apartments!

Once I started using enzyme detergent, it cleaned pretty well.

Looks like you had a good time, Eugene.

Re: GE Washer and Dryer:

Hi! Eugene, might you happen to have the Model Numbers of the GE Washer and Dryer that you had for use while staying there? Did the Dryer have a Stainless Steel Drum, to go along with the Stainless Steel Tub in the Washer?

I would gratefully appreciate the info if you have it available for not only myself "FYI" but for anyone else that might be curious to know the Models that were there.

Interesting control panel on the washer.-pretty neat they provide dishes-wonder how many "walk" with the guests?And pretty neat they provide a VHS-DVD player with the tV-do they rent movies there for you to play on those machines?One hotel I wnet to rented movies-but YOU had to provide the player.I suppose for those folks that have "walkman" movie players or those with laptops that have players in them.At one of the airports they rented DVD movies for folks who were riding on the airliners-you could play them on your own machine or one you "rent" from the movie rental-you turned in the movies and player at the next airport or at any Blockbuster" store-beleive that was who the company was.May have been at Charlette,NC-was trying to remember.I beleive there was one at Denvers airport as well.
 
The two saucepans in the dw look like Paderno Cookware from Italy. In that fabulous book A Cook's Catalogue edited by James Beard and published in 1975, Paderno pans were universally praised, but noted as being very expensive. The handle is so distinctive, but who would put cookware like that in a motel apartment?

When we went to the Kitchen & Bath International Show in Whorelando, we stayed in a nice condo with WP appliances, including a standard capacity MOL washer and dryer. We did lots of laundry, including the bathroom rugs that probably had never been washed by anyone.

Thanks for sharing this motel treat with us. Tom
 
I don't have model numbers for the washers or dryers. I didn't have any laundry to do---although I thought I'd run all the towels through, just to do a load, but didn't have time. I honestly can't remember if the dryers had SS drums. They are commercial machines (have coin meters), but you just bypass them. The dryers were the built-in stacked type. I'll take more laundry pics when I stay there again in 2 weeks. I'll take photos of it in operation, too. Sorry, no video cam.
 
Rex, they had originally planned to update it each year or two, but the project was too massive. You are right, the second one about ethnic cooking tools was not as interesting.
One day the Cooks Catalog will be helpful for historians doing research. I think I bought mine as a remainder at a greatly reduced price.
 
Frigilux, where is this place? Looks really nice, and might be something I'd want to try sometime when I'm there.
 
Hi Scott-- The Candlewood Suites is technically in Richfield, but it's right off 494 at the Lyndale Ave. exit. You may recall there is a strip mall there with a Borders Books, a Best Buy and a Don Pablo's Mexican restaurant. It's just a couple blocks east of that.

The address is 351 W. 77th Street, Richfield, MN

The reservation line is 1-800-CANDLEWOOD

I've also included the website link (which is how I booked my room)

I know that people go to motels for sex and sometimes take pictures or even make movies of the activity, but this must be a first; going to a motel for the appliances and taking pictures. I love being with people whose priorities reflect what is really important.
