The new room is amazing. It's as big as my whole house! Okay, not really, but it feels like it. It's got a sitting room about as big as the entire room we had before, with a big couch, desk, round table and 4 chairs, TV inside a cabinet, and a wet bar with fridge. Then there's a hallway with a vanity, and the bathroom (huge, natch). No hairdryer at the vanity, but my hairdryer is in my car so that's no biggie.
Past the hallway is the bedroom. Again, almost as big as the entire room we had before. No chairs, just two beds and another TV cabinet. Also there's two closets, one in the sitting room and one in the bedroom. The internet connection is out in the sitting room. It's ethernet, they provided a cable. I'm plugged in and we did computer-to-computer wireless.
Okay, so this room was totally worth $20 more a night. I was thinking that we ought to come up with another problem in this room and try to get upgraded again. It has been pretty cool to see both the old decor and the new. Lisa dubbed them the tacky tower and the swanky tower. One of the art car drivers knows someone who works here and he gave us the scoop. Apparently the Galt House was built in the 70s by a private owner who never redecorated it. Eventually he either retired or died, and the new company is in the process of renovating. But it's an expensive job so they haven't gotten to the west tower yet.
Now we're chilling and enjoying the net access and the incredibly spacious room. We have several hours off, then I have to go back to my car and turn the bubble machine on. The cars are on display about four blocks from here so it's an easy walk. Then tonight we have an illuminated cruise at 8:30, and then dinner at the famed Lynn's Paradise Cafe which I'm really looking forward to.

Lynn's Paradise Cafe is unlike anything else I've seen -- I loved it. The walls, tables, and ceiling are so busy that I couldn't stop looking around!
