And how is the decision of the PR department not the decision of the hotel? Did the janitors have to agree with the decision for the decision to truly obtain pan-hotel approval?

Would've gone well with the publishers' payment...though my morals would've suffered a bit. Damn morality getting in the way of making money.</p>
