We have smoke detectors!
So my company is planning a mass upload of 5000 hotels into the system and I've been working a writing a very exciting description for each and every hotel. A copy writing project like this is ever so much fun. We're supposed to be "optimistic" about the hotel descriptions, but that can be difficult when the hotel is some chain hotel in the middle of nowhere Georgia. I clicked the amenities tab on one hotel and smoke detectors were listed. Isn't that required for hotels? And this is a 3 star hotel. I contemplated writing a description like "Enjoy a relaxing evening at this hotel secure in the knowledge that should there be a fire, smoke alarms will be there to alert you."In other news, rates in Vegas have continued to decline. I've seen rooms for $10 recently. And strip hotels for under $25. They must be really, really hurting. Not that they're alone. A five star in San Diego was offering rooms for $19 recently - although they didn't have beds, just a tent in the room. Why would you need a tent inside a hotel room?
