A Perfect Hotel Room

Lots of light, a comfy bed, Quiet when you're sleeping; Curtains blocking out the world When morning rays come creeping. Reading lamps, two cozy chairs, Some drawers to do unpacking; A fridge, tv and coffeemaker (Which some rooms are lacking). A nice hot shower where the water's Strong yet gently flowing; A concierge to help you Figure out just where you're going. A great location so that you Can walk to local places; A staff whose smiles are welcoming As breezes' warm embraces. A hotel room like this will make Your visit a delight And if you guess I'm staying at one,* You'd, of course, be right! *Hotel Am Steinplatz, Berlin

What a great 'travel series' you've put together, Ilene. Somehow, it ought to be publishable...~ Gershon

thank you, gershon! i'll tuck that idea away for future reference because i have lots of travel-related poems. it just seems daunting to try to put things together in a book, but i do think about it from time to time...

When it comes to hotels/motels, cleanliness is what ranks with me. I can overlook a lot of things but above all else, it must be clean. Have a great time in Germany, Ilene:)

thank you, daniel! i did have a great time! berlin is a very cool city. ~ you're right - cleanliness is the most important thing, but i kind of took that for granted. i guess there are places where cleanliness is not up to par and i'd sure hate to stay in one of those!

Sounds like a fabulous place to stay. I had to google the hotel and the reviews are amazing we will definitely stay if we get to Berlin. I want to go as my son loves, he went for his birthday and says the Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum of Contemporary Art is awesome. from what I've read on the web its free to go on a Thursday afternoon! Have a great time:-) hugs Jan xx

hey jan! i do hope you get to stay there some day. it was a very special place. my husband is great at finding these gems. the museum your son recommended was closed on monday and that's when i got your comment, so we missed it. :( we did see a lot of interesting places, though...

- Why is it always only one comfortable chair ... sorry, Ilene but I do not like hotel ... the only thing that is + is the huge pillows in bed :) - But you have found your "dream hotel" ... enjoy it :) - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

thanks for the comment, anne-lise! i do like hotels and was very happy with this one. it's strange to think that someone else is staying in the room that i just left, though...
