The rhythmic hum of the AC was interrupted by a sharp, hesitant knock. I opened the heavy mahogany door of the Presidential Suite to find a woman clutching a plastic ice bucket, looking thoroughly defeated. She was wrapped in a short, waffle-weave hotel bathrobe that had clearly seen better days, her damp hair suggesting she’d just stepped out of the shower before realizing the ice machine was calling her name. ​"I am so incredibly sorry," she exhaled, her face flushed. "I went for ice and the door clicked shut behind me. My key card is sitting right on the nightstand." ​She explained that she’d used the hallway phone to call the front desk, but they’d informed her that a massive wedding party had just checked in and the duty manager was tied up. "They told me to wait, but it’s freezing out here," she added with a sheepish shrug. ​"Step inside," I said, gesturing to the foyer. "No point hovering in the hallway. I’ll call down again; sometimes a different extension gets a faster response." ​As she stepped onto the polished marble, her eyes widened. She didn't just walk in; she drifted, her gaze climbing the twelve-foot ceilings. "Wow," she whispered, the ice bucket dangling forgotten at her side. "I thought my room was decent, but this is... another planet." ​She wandered toward the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the neon-soaked city grid. She ran a hand over the velvet upholstery of the sofa, looking back at me with a playful, self-deprecating grin. "My room is basically a shoebox with a view of a brick wall and a suspicious stain on the carpet. I didn't realize 'luxury' actually meant this." ​She took a seat on the edge of a chair, looking like a stowaway in a palace. "Honestly? If management takes another twenty minutes, I might just start paying you rent for the floor space. This beats the hallway by a landslide."
