The hotel was buzzing with people attending various events - bar mitzvahs, church of the Nazarene conference, dinner dances. Immaculately coiffed and elegantly clad ladies were seen accompanied by men in tuxedos, a change from the jeans and loud music environment that used to pervade at the "boutique" hotel that I last stayed in. One distinct benefit of this hotel is that I no longer have to be a passive smoker when passing a bank of smokers taking their fresh air break at the hotel entrance.
