Our first renovation endeavor now that the season has started to slow a bit was to remove all the large, bulky, noisy, inefficient and unattractive AC/Heat units in the upstairs rooms out. Hotel Charlotte is a historic hotel, therefore the rooms are not 500 square feet, so every piece of floor space is like gold - as well as trying to improve the aesthetic of the rooms. In their place (along with the rooms on the first floor which had no individual heat/AC previously), we installed high energy efficient Mitsubishi individual Heat/AC units. We had a great team from AireServ of Gold Country do the installation and highly recommend them! We really felt that this was the most important update we could make for a few reasons and therefore started here:
Make the hotel more green by installing one of the most energy efficient units available
Open up the floor space for guests in our quaint, but not large rooms
Install units that are almost noiseless and extremely effective in a very short time
Overall improvement of the aesthetics
We did a lot of research prior to deciding on Mitsubishi, and while they are among the most expensive options, they are very green, unbelievably reliable (and include a 7 year warranty YAY!) and look sleek.

And next will be the start of the overall room renovations! We've just begun on room 10 as a demo. Photos to come...although we are sure learning the hard way to take off wallpaper! We're getting great arm workout and a few blisters.
More to come...
