Modern Hotel

We checked into the best hotel in Rexburg for a few days while we attended Education Days at BYU-I.  There aren't many hotels in town, and speaking from experience, many of them are not very nice.  We stayed at the Marriot Springhill Suites which was very modern and sort of European.  The person at the desk asked if we wanted a room with a view and Terry almost started laughing.  He didn't think Rexburg offered any sort of view, but come to find out, our window looked out over fields and up the hill to the temple.  At night the temple is lit and the view is beautiful.

I loved the carpet down the halls - my favorite green.  I want the sectional in my living room.  They had a desk with sliding window panels that you could close and not disturb any who might be sleeping.  It had USB outlets in the base of the lamp, and Terry had to figure out the i-home so set the alarm.  The bathroom was divided in two with sliding doors - toilet and sink, shower and sink.  My favorite part was the bathroom mirror.  The circle in the middle was magnified.  I need that at home too.

It was a great room to come back to after a long day of classes.  We would sprawl out on the sectional and fire-up our laptops or Kindles or i-pods.  There's not a lot going on in Rexburg at night, so the Olympics Opening Ceremony was our highlight.  We could pretend like we were staying in a modern hotel in London.
