Two Hangers Left Hanging
I first stayed at the Matrix in September 2016, a time before the pandemic when free wine and cheese was served nightly from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm, parking was free, and so was the morning buffet. I was a bit dazzled and made it a point to continue booking at the Matrix. I have likely stayed there 15 times, either by booking through Expedia or directly with the hotel. I was there for this past weekend with family. The parking was still free, but the buffet was now $17.50 if you purchased it from the front desk. The wine and cheese was replaced with the proverbial happy hour. Finally, there were only two hangers in my room 601. I was the sad that the magic that defined the Matrix for me was gone. I will search for magic somewhere else next time.
