The hubs company is having a meeting at the Ritz Carlton in Laguna Niguel. The opportunity arose to allow us to stay down at the Ritz for the evening.
Jeff was going to originally say no since my mom is in town. However when he talked to me and mentioned it, I responded “heck yes!”
I normally travel in jeans and a hoodie but felt that would be too casual for such an upscale hotel. So I put on jeans and a cardigan. LOL, that’s me dressed fancy.
We arrived at the hotel and the view was gorgeous.
We checked in and went to look for our room. We have one of the rooms facing the garden/pool area. It’s not the ocean, but I’m not complaining.
Bathrooms are probably one of the main things that separate a regular hotel from a “fancy” hotel. Our bathroom had his and her sinks…
cheese…
and a phone by the toilet. LOL, so funny.
It’s also the little things that make the difference. Normally the q-tips are in a regular glass. Here they were in a cute jar. Even the faucet handles are a little bit nicer.
Jeff has gone off to his meeting and left me to entertain myself for the next 4 hours. I have a book, a couple of movies and my laptop. I should be okay.
Shout out to my fur daughter! Her 2nd birthday is tomorrow. She’s currently spending the night at Aunty Shannon’s while we are away. Jeff and I confirmed the Ritz is pet friendly but they charge a non-refundable $150 pet cleaning fee and an additional $50 a night boarding fee. It would have cost us $200 to have Chloe come. Shannon’s bed is just as nice.
