Habitat Suites Hotel

• The bathroom/shower, while clean, were of the cheap motel variety.

• Your front door opens to a nice patio/balcony surrounded by lush green lanscaping with mature trees in a quiet part of town.

• There are other greener methods you might not notice but which the hotel has detailed in a lengthy pamphlet -- vinegar and baking soda used in cleaning, chemical-free red cedar used for the balconies and stairs, emission-free paint, a few solar panels, etc.We liked the alternative options at breakfast: kukicha (twig) tea, tasty rice and beans, maple syrup and local honey, hot whole-grain oats, fresh fruit and organic yogurt.

• Everything in the room was very clean.

• The room was nice.

• The suite was a nice two-story design.

• The staff told me it was because all the rooms were booked up, but the more obvious explanation was the groupon I used is only good for one-bedroom, and they were reluctant to let me stay in the two-bedroom suite, even though they had made my stay the worst ever experience I've ever had by giving me a broken-AC suite in the first place.

• The bed was so comfy that I slept the best I had in months.

• Bed was not top quality but not uncomfortable.

• The sofas, cabinets, bed and dressers were new, though the fridge, stove, dishwasher and bathroom fixtures are not -- but using things that seem dated is in some ways better than sending still-usable appliances to the landfill.

• Bathrooms feel creepy and unclean because of it.
