attention to detail: appreciated
So. About this place we're staying in (The New York Palace). They have obviously spent a LOT of time thinking hard about how they do things.
I very, very much appreciate it.
Here are some examples:
phone by the toilet (so if it rings, you don't have to get up)
privacy button by the bed that flicks a "do not disturb" light outside the door
button by the bed switches off ALL lights in the apartment (including in cupboards, etc)
auto-lights in both wardrobes
key access to the minibar (I guess so if you have kids they won't get into anything)
tissue box in the bathroom (a little thing, but still)
massive magnifying face mirror in bathroom
comfortable stool by the bathroom vanity, so if you're doing makeup, you don't have to stand up)
both wired AND wireless internet (and you can use both at once)
oh, and best yet - a CURVED shower curtain rail (it starts at bathwidth, then curves outwards). Why? So the shower curtain doesn't stick to you.
.. and yes, it's one of those double curtains so the water doesn't drip off it all over the floor.
this is beyond the "hey, we just included this to be helpful" list, which includes: lots of writing paper of different sizes, lamps everywhere (rather than just nasty overhead lights), hair dryer, iron+board, shoe horn, umbrella, bathroom scales, tie rack & full length mirror in the wardrobe, plenty of power jacks, spare slippers, gorgeous bathrobes (towelling inside, silky outside), enormous tv, bed, etc etc.
oh, did I show you this?
(yes, they're complimentary, you just have to ask)
Anyway, I love attention to detail. Seeing so much of it in one place is pretty much heaven. It's rare I see a business that have their act THIS well together. It's damn inspiring.
