WOF 1

We're at a beautiful Marriott Residence Inn in NJ. We are here for the Women of Faith Conference this weekend. I had reserved two suites and one studio, both of which are VERY expensive! Like $200 per night expensive!! I got a call from the general manager earlier this week asking if we might consider changing rooms and not having the suites. I told her as long as we had somewhere to lay our heads, we really didn't care where we were! Apparently, there is a family staying here whose house was hit by lightning and they haven't found alternate housing, thus are still here and using the suites. As it turns out, we ended up with two rooms with a king size bed and two studios that also have a king size bed. All of the rooms have a comfy sofa bed (as comfy as you can get on a sofa bed...LOL!!) The manager gave us each room for $45 per night for our inconvenience!! You can't beat that with a stick!!!! So instead of $200 per night, they are a quarter of that price! These rooms are gorgeous...it's a new hotel, the kitchen has a dishwasher, electric stove, refrigerator....and little rubber ducky to take a bath with!!
