After ninety minutes of driving you arrive at the hotel entrance, the sun having abandoned this day halfway through the journey and taking with it much of the warmth. The glass double doors are illuminated by lamps positioned on either side along with the parking lot. Stepping out of a small grey sedan you shudder and reach back for the coat sitting on the passenger seat. Your breath becomes a fine white mist as you hurry for the entrance, not even your coat providing enough warmth to beat back the frigid air.
The roaring fireplace across from the check-in desk embraces all of the hotel's guests upon their arrival. As the warmth takes you a smile creeps onto your face. A shudder runs through your body at the change in temperature, bringing with it a relaxing of your muscles as the tension melts away. The wood decor provides the lobby with a sense of coziness, along with the combination of real and fake fall decorations which create a reality far from what the weather outside would have you believe.
Appearing from a room tucked to the left behind the desk, the receptionist greets you with a friendly wave. An air of hospitality follows as she says, "Hello!"
You nod and approach the desk, setting your paws atop the warm wood. You briefly explain that a friend is staying here and you thought you'd stop by to see them. After describing the guest, she nods knowingly and replies, "That's sweet, your friend is in 208, on the second floor."
