The trip was uneventful.
The trip was so uneventful that I got there way early. There was no road construction delays. No cops to be seen, so traffic was really moving.
Thought I might have to wait for my room, I was so early (it's happened before)
But, surprisingly I was able to check in right away. Sadly, I didn't get my usual room. Even worse, I got stuck on the 8th floor. Spent a lot of time in the elevators over the weekend.

The hotel is still under renovation. Last year part of the parking lot was taken up with crap as they were prepairing to start.  This year a really big chunk of the parking lot was full of containers and dumpsters. Made parking a crap-shoot.
I got one of the renovated rooms It's ok. Not as much sitting space. A lot less table space. The dresser is smaller, but there are now mini-fridges. The bedding is unimpressive might bring my own blanket next year. Something with a bit of weight so I can sleep better. No clocks in the rooms now.  At least I didn't have trouble with my room, unlike many others I heard from. So I will take that as a win.
