two floors of
a garden courtyard. a st
I always stood across the street and just looked at the hotels before going
inside. It only takes a few seconds, and that way I could count the floors, tell
something about the layout, and figure out where the best rooms were likely to
be. The desk clerks often hold back these rooms for repeat customers. This
practice is perfectly reasonable: why should they give the best rooms to one-time-
only American tourists?ono ovib a'vab gaol s orl bonit asw I madw mit
