31. you mean the japanese had a lot of the hotels????
I do notice some areas the hotels are always full

but how did the hiltons make so much money if it is a risky business
Some seem to have been able to leverage their business

just the quality of budget hotels has gone down so much - I was shocked -
Now I am getting to the point that I don't expect a clean room or furniture not beat up or holes in bedspreads

Yet that one hotel in st george is what I remember - clean, everything in its place, just pleasant
