How We Shared A Shampoo Bottle With Drew Barrymore at the Ace Seattle

Hey Drew, we've got our eye on you

Being shallow and all, there�s nothing we like more than staying at a celeb-filled hotel, and staying in a celeb�s room? That really tips us over the US Weekly edge.

So we could barely contain our excitement when we arrived at the Ace Seattle on Monday only for the guy at check in to tell us casually: �You just missed Drew Barrymore.� And when he went on to say we were staying in the room she�d been in the night before, we nearly swooned all the way down the staircase.

And if you�ve stayed at the Ace you�ll know that part of the deal is the supersized, communal soap dispensers that you get in the bathroom. So yes, we shared a shampoo bottle with Drew Barrymore.

On another Ace-related note, although it�ll take a little getting used to if you�re accustomed to hotels that wait on you hand and foot (there�s no elevator, no room service and self-serve breakfast downstairs), it was a huge relief to be somewhere that offered self parking for a reasonable $19 a day just two blocks away (which worked out as a couple of dollars more than if we�d parked on the street � but not having to feed the meter every two hours was worth every cent) instead of having valet only parking that costs over $30.

Yep, after a couple of weeks of your hotels trying to rinse you for the privilege of parking your wheels, it�s nice to have a spot of DIY. And even nicer to think Drew had been DIYing it in preparation for our stay.

Disclosure: Juliab stayed as a guest of the Ace as part of a feature for a UK magazine, but all opinions are her own.
