Yesterday, I went off on one of those hip, trendy hotels that, in the interest of being hip and trendy, have made the process of actually staying in a hotel more complicated.
Part of the problem is allowing "the creatives" free reign. Hey, the bathroom is very hip. But, hip as it is, it fails because there is no way to turn on the shower without getting a blast of cold water in your face. It's as if the designers never actually STAYED in a hotel.
And, the promotional messaging is sooo unbelievably over the top. Yesterday, I commented on this promotional line, seen in the elevator: "Every Craving Will be Satisfied." And, yeah...I had some (out of context) fun with it.
But, let's put it IN context. The placard was refering to their 24-hour food service. So, yeah, delivering someone to satisfy my carnal cravings was a little out of context.
However, IN context? My every craving? Let's see...how 'bout an order of grilled giraffe with a side of frog legs, lightly fried with cayenne and panko, some reindeer pate with water crackers and some slightly seared sheep balls on Wonder Bread.
No? Don't have any of that in the back? Reeeeally?
But...but...your sign said...
