Marmont Monday: Room 44

I actually finished my taxes early so that I could squeeze in another stay at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard. As my readers know, this place is my addiction. I was pretty stoked to have a room I had not stayed in before.

There were so many things that raced through my mind when I saw this on the notepad in my room:

One of the first things I did was to take a photo in the same area Anthony Perkins did back in the 1960’s:

Willis had to be front and center. Of course I am wearing my Disneyland Hauntd Mansion Fandana from Going to Guides’ etsy shop.

There were still signs of the pandemic. The garage was still self-park, which makes me somewhat nervous. I don’t know how the valets do it, as the spaces are tight as hell.

Occupancy was still being held to 25%. These branded floor stickers for distancing were in the common spaces:

The living room area restaurant was still lovely, but also still closed.

Typical Willis while at the Chateau: don’t bother me. I’m enjoying the bed.

Typical Willis #2 at the Chateau: give me treats from the table.

It was great to see Amanda and Kamy, who I had not seen at the same time since their wedding a little over a year ago. If Willis looks annoyed, it’s because even though there were more people at the table with us, the treats did not increase exponentially.

Every morning began with a swim in the pool.

I assume the unicorn was to keep the waters pure for the safety of the guests.

Willis was very well behaved while I did my laps.

The view from my room was fab, whether it was day:

Or night:

Breakfast during the week had to be room service. I can deal with that.

…especially with my little buddy beside me.
