[Music]
i'm on another road trip from florida
california so
i booked a lot of pet friendly hotels
along the way
and my first stop is baton rouge
louisiana
and i'm staying at the drury inn and
suites
this is the first time i've heard of
drury inn and
i'm actually staying at two drury
uh hotels along the way so
my first stop is here in baton rouge
louisiana and then my next is in san
antonio so far so
good um the check-in was great i was a
little frazzled though
when coming or driving into the hotel
there's a lot of traffic around here
because there's a hospital right next
door and there's a lot of
restaurants and fast food so traffic is
kind of crazy
so it was hard to make a left turn into
here i had to kind of do a u-turn but
then
i got stuck in between lights and i was
blocking traffic
so that was really stressful um but made
it here
safely and um check-in was really
really really fast and very smooth the
lady up front was very nice
and informed me that they actually serve
free dinner
and drinks from 5 30 to 7 i think it was
and also free breakfast in the morning
so i mean free dinner is great
and i also like that their pet fee was
under 50
it's 35 a night so yeah i'm just gonna
give you a tour of this room kuma's
right there and she was enjoying the
carpet
as usual uh over here is
a lovely accent chair and a little table
side table with a lamp
oh there she goes again
uh so yeah i got uh two queen beds
i laid on it just for a little bit it
felt pretty comfortable
seems pretty quiet we are right next to
the interstate um
and lots of stuff going on but don't
really hear
much so it's well insulated over here is
the computer desk and work area with
a mirror in front a luggage rack
a tv and
there's some drawers but there's also
a microwave and a refrigerator which i
also booked hotels that would have
refrigerators since i'm taking food and
drinks along with me
microwave is nice
and then these are the drawers in here i
like that they put the remote in
a sealed cover here to let you know that
it's clean and disinfected for your
safety
some channels that they have digital
air conditioning system i always bring
puma's bed i actually had to buy a new
dog bed
because i left one of kuma's dog beds
at one of the hotels in nashville so
i had to get her a new one but she seems
to like it it's smaller than the other
one but
i wanted a smaller one so that i could
um
travel with it easier right very basic
in here
um no toiletries really provided
i mean not any travel size ones anyway
they provide lots of towels that's the
toilet there so you have towels here
towels there uh it's the bath towel and
kumi gonna take a bath
i'm just checking it out still that's
fine nice shower head
and they got conditioner shampoo and
body wash
and these containers here which is nice
i actually like
this more than getting the travel size
bottles lately
um it's just easier and i don't forget
to take in a jar with me
plus i have a lot of travel size bottles
now so i don't need any more
and plus it's less waste hair dryer
underneath here
and um oh
i didn't realize that this is a closet
in here
i know this is just cause i was
wondering where the closet was but
there's a little handle here and
excuse me i don't want to hurt you watch
out
size closet with an iron and ironing
board
and i can fit in there okay so
over here they have
three outlets by the beds
an alarm clock uh
and another three outlets here at the
work desk
and then one more down there so they
have plenty of outlets
which i i'm always a fan of
um but yeah that's pretty much it for
this room
um really nice size pretty big
and kuma could run around if she wants
to right are you gonna do some running
yeah let's put some energy out that'd be
really good because we're going to go on
the road again
so this is just really an overnight stay
um so it's perfect for that
and it's perfect because it's pet
friendly so kuma really likes this right
yeah you do
you love this she seems really happy and
if she's happy
i'm happy right yeah baby can i get a
kiss
thank you okay so i don't know i might
get that free dinner
i did have a little bit of a snack
really
when i got here because i was kind of
hungry it was the homemade food that i
made before i left
i don't know i might check it out if i'm
not tired
i am kind of tired since today was a
pretty long drive
i drove for uh 11 hours total i might
just uh stay in the hotel room and get
some rats for the rest of the night
unless kuma kuma wants to go out again
and we might do that but
she's an early sleeper too and an early
riser so
it might be good to go to bed early okay
so i did go downstairs and get some food
um since it was free i figured i might
as well just get a little bit of
something
so they had steamed veggies alfredo
pasta
grilled chicken and salad
and also soup i got a salad and alfredo
pasta
you also get three free drinks
i thought it was just one drink because
you get a card
with when you check in to say that you
get a free drink so i gave him my card
and he was checking off something i
thought he was going to keep it he's
like oh wait no
you have to take a bag like oh really
he's like yeah you get two more like
what
i get three drinks that's crazy
so yeah they give you a lot here um
and it's not just wine and i don't know
if they have beer but
uh so it's like four different wine
selections and they had a bloody mary
margarita i think that's tequila sunrise
so i did go with some white wine
chardonnay
and i put a plastic cup with the lid for
you how
thoughtful and the people down there
were so nice
yep just got a little bit just a little
bit of something you know
to eat and then my salad
[Music]
[Applause]
doesn't look that fresh so i don't know
but
here it is i'm probably not gonna eat
this
all it just doesn't look fresh for sure
okay just add some of the pasta and it's
kind of awful sorry to say
i mean it's nice that they you know
provide
complimentary food but uh i can't i
don't think i could do this let me try
one more time
no i can't i can't do it
[Music]
you
