Review Title:
Tell me, are the Japanese kind of weird?

I like this hotel, make no mistake. The room was very comfortable and completely modern in its decor. But when we woke up we took a closer look at the mural on the wall. The night before, as we hurriedly changed for a night at the Fillmore (which is only four short blocks away, big plus!) we noted only the pleasing shapes and colors of the wall mural. But in the morning light the details became more clear: The entire wall was papered over with an illustration of some dark dystopian police state: Faceless policemen with dogs emblazoned on their uniforms congregated behind a barrier of police tape, while above them the modern buildings were seen as false fronts concealing a huge and sinister robot. Above it all, crows gathered as to an impending feast. We were really glad we weren't in that room tripping on acid or it would have been a very bad day.

Owoooo!
I don't know if that is slightly worse or slightly better than a highway motel where we lodged in North Carolina during a family trip when I was eight or eleven or something.The room was decorated with a tacky wallpaper in a huge floral pattern of cabbage roses. Lacking any other thrifty options, one assumes, the moteliers had cut out two of the big bouquets from the wallpaper and put them in cheap frames to pair above the bed. It was hilarious. I took one of them into the bathroom and hung it on a hook over the commode, just as a statement.
