Rather than staying with friends while in Minneapolis this weekend, I treated myself to a room at Candlewood Suites. It was fun to have appliances to play with. Here's an overview of the kitchenette.
Motel Room WITH APPLIANCES!
- Thread starter frigilux
- Start date
Help Support :
No need to go down the hall for ice....
A little courtesty treat hiding in the microwave...
A nice little lunch...
No BobLoad® here, kids...
Not many options on this BOL GE....
Bonus: No charge for use of washers/dryers in laundry room!
Nice SS wash basket...
Almost forgot the disposer. It's very quiet and works better than my disposer at home.
And don't drink the shampoo, either...

I wonder how many guests have done this?

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!

Don't drink the shampoo -
I'll bet LOTS of people have used it in the dishwasher and walked out of the room! They had the sticker printed for a reason ;-)
Veg, you can come share half of my dishwasher anytime!

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.
