]]> Comment on Hip Hotels — Still Tragic by Mark Miller http://executivenomad.com/2009/10/hip-hotels-still-tragic/comment-page-1/#comment-80 Mark Miller Sat, 10 Oct 2009 15:37:46 +0000 http://executivenomad.com/?p=592#comment-80 Nothing is more pleasing than staying (anywhere) in style....and while that word is subjective...mismatched prints, a floral border around the ceiling and WAY too much fluorescent lighting is NEVER pretty. The lighting at all Morgan Group Hotels is subtle (OK DIM).... but A)maybe they are saving the planet one KW at a time & B)who doesn't look better in the glow of the bar. As for the screen size...All Nomads should know that despite what they have heard SIZE does matter...everywhere! Recent visits to Las Vegas put me in the Trump & Mandalay Bay...both venues provided ample rooms, ready for lounging, sleeping, or sending that next batch of emails. Great lighting (VERY well designed) efficient work space, plugs, wifi et al. (I did not use the wifi and cannot comment on price or quality). At the end of the day it is always FUN to come home to style....at a certain age (and those of you using 1.50 readers to see this know who you are) good lighting matters, to more than JUST brain surgeons. That being said book me into a Morgans Group anytime!

Take a look at the recent Simmons debacle where VC made money like they were printing it....selling and reselling an otherwise stable company that got so deeply in debt that no amount of good business could get it out...but the VC people still made their $$$. While the Gourmet situation is a bit different we are today losing another opportunity at something more....something that inspires us to be better than we are.
