I was a kid, sleeping in a tot cot outside my parents' room, our first night at this grand and imposing hotel. I awoke in the night, and called out sleepily: "Mommy, I smell burning". Trusting my sense of smell (that was the best part!), they collected my sister and me and scrammed the heck out of there; our safe little family had a long drive home in the dark.

What an amazing piece of architecture. I can only imagine how fantastic a nice long stay would be.
