minimalist hotel

I spoke to Elvis this morning, and he was complaining about the lousy hotel he's in. He said it's very very bare - only a bed, TV and the smallest table one can imagine with a telephone on it. Haha! NO couch, table etc. Made me wonder if it's as "basic" as the Japan hotels we stayed in.

He said the most ridiculous part is, it's US$300/night and the staff knows nothing! I am thinking either he's too pampered with nice hotels on all business trips or this one really sucks. I believe it's a bit more of the former. Kekee... ;p

But when i called his hotel, they also didnt ask me for the guest's name (before connecting to his room). Hmm... Anyway, hope his work will go smoothly, and there's time for play too! And... i'll see him in 2 weeks! ;)

UPDATED ON 16 Oct:
I just did a search on the hotel coz I was once again "pissed" by the operator's nonchalant attitude... Hmm...only found some exterior pix of the hotel - which looks very modern (nice!). But none of the rooms(??). Elvis said if they showed the rooms, no one will stay there at all! There's not even a cupboard to hang his shirts! He bought some fruits and no place to put them at all! No place to sit also! He has to eat them on the bed! Haha! That's BAD!
And the rates are from US$349-399. Gosh!
