The Sven Xavier Robenspiel rule of thumb about 'nice' hotels.


If it does not have a 'real' staircase, and by 'real' I mean one that is in the lobby and pleasant to look at, and you don't feel like your caught in the bowels of a battleship while climbing or descending. And it begins in the lobby, and not some hidden access point off the street, then it's not a hotel worth my time.

I haTE elevators.


oh yeah, did you know that Willard Scott was the achitype for Ronald McDonald.

I didn't
