too big for comfort

Some of you might have known from Elvis (or his MSN name) that his hotel in New York is "haunted" - at least the 1st room that he checked into. When he reached, he was checked into the biggest room in the hotel. He felt very "uncomfortable" inside the room, so he requested for a change. But as it was already midnight (the staff had gone home), they said they could only change another room for him in the morning. They called the US Producer, and he said they were CRAZY to request for a change in hotel! He even asked them to move into his apartment, and he go stay in the hotel!!! Apparently, it's very difficult to get a room at this boutique hotel. So, for the night, he bunked in with another (female) colleague who was there with him. Oops... No lah, dont let your mind wander off... He slept on the sofa, and they are close friends - with her husband too. ;p

Everytime i called him at the hotel, it's an 'automated' answering machine...coz there's no receptionist/front desk at this boutique hotel. I'll have to follow the instructions to get my line transferred to the room. (No wonder the staff dont need to work 24-hr shifts) Anyway, today i decided to google the hotel after listening to the answering machine's "greetings" and since Elvis was not back in his room yet.

So, this is it! Lafayette House. From the photos shown on the site, very nicely-decorated rooms indeed. But maybe the European-styled deco is a tad too scary for me too - esp when alone. I supposed this room (above) is the one that Elvis was talking about. He also mentioned it's the corner room, on the top floor, a huge door leads to the toilet (which he didnt even dare to step in), lots of black-&-white photos along the corridoor (of people in the 20s/30s with very weird hair).... Eeee.... Giving me goosebumps already!
