OK, so, we had the chance to move to a little bit bigger room - right down the hall - on the corner, so we get a window over the sink. Our window in front is bigger too. The floor space is about twice as big as the other one - Bill measured. After not having it - floor space is absolutely wonderful. We can actually walk around and not bump into each other. We will still move over to the Lodge in a few months - when there's an opening there. There are rooms at the Lodge - bedroom, living room, kitchen and tons more storage space. And a washer and dryer in each room. The Accommodation Center (where we are now) is meant for patrons who come for overnight to visit the Temple - not for living. But that's where they put most of the missionaries because there just isn't enough room in the Manor House (we hope we don't have to move there - it's not nearly as nice as the Lodge - even though it's beautiful and romantic) or in the Lodge for the workers and missionaries. Our room is now 51. We love it except we're not right across from the Bartschi's anymore. We used to open our doors and chat while we were fixing dinner. But, I told DeAne that we can still open our doors and yell down the hall to each other. :)
We were in the MTC with the Bartschi's and flew over on the same plane. The reason we got the bigger place and will move to the Lodge before them is simply that the Temple got our mission papers first. So we're before them in line - they are really careful about that because they don't want any hurt feelings.

Sitting in my comfortable chair looking toward the door - notice "FLOOR SPACE"
Notice footstools with the chairs
Our little, teeny, tiny kitchen - but we have a window looking out on the street. We love it.
