Anyway, for this last night-I checked into a new hotel (believe it or not, the only reason I didn't stay at the previous hotel an extra night is because they had no vacancies). This new hotel looked like the real thing. Uniformed people at the front desk. A well-lit carpeted lobby, and even key-cards (the previous hotel actually had standard ol' keys). And to show this was indeed fancy, above the front desk we're various clocks showing the time in different parts of the world. There is no greater show of prestige in hotels then that-check out below in the pic.
Actually the rooms themselves weren't that nice. The wallpaper was falling off in places, and the tv was an old type tv (Even the bar hotel had flat screens). And it was an inside stateroom-no windows. But it did the job.
