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

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/31/2018 9:28:00 PM What a great 'travel series' you've put together, Ilene. Somehow, it ought to be publishable...~ Gershon Login to Reply Ilene Bauer Date: 6/4/2018 4:08:00 PM 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...

Daniel Turner Date: 5/28/2018 10:53:00 AM 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:) Login to Reply Ilene Bauer Date: 5/30/2018 5:02:00 PM 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!

Tom Cunningham Date: 5/28/2018 3:11:00 AM There's something about hotel rooms, it reinforces the fact ,yes I'm on holiday. Have a great time ilene. Tom. Login to Reply Ilene Bauer Date: 5/30/2018 4:59:00 PM thank you, tom! yes, i agree, especially when you're there long enough to unpack. i did have a wonderful vacation and was sorry to have it end...

Jan Allison Date: 5/28/2018 3:07:00 AM 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 Login to Reply Ilene Bauer Date: 5/30/2018 4:58:00 PM 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...

Anne-Lise Andresen Date: 5/28/2018 2:56:00 AM - 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 :) Login to Reply Ilene Bauer Date: 5/30/2018 4:56:00 PM 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...
