We're beginning to wonder: are hotel guests getting so bored cooped up in their rooms that they feel the need to take their private, behind-closed-doors activities into more public spaces like hallways and lobbies? Because it seems like that's the way things are going.

Were looking at you <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/MANDARIN+ORIENTAL+BOSTON/local/1357">Mandarin Oriental Boston</a> and your one and only review of the property on <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g60745-d1136705-r21047568-Mandarin_Oriental_Boston-Boston_Massachusetts.html">TripAdvisor</a>.

Just in time for the economic sky to fall. They don't seem too worried about filling their rooms though, despite industry doom and gloom predictions. Evidently, there are still people out there who can -- and will -- fork over between $625 and $8,000 a night when in Boston for little touches like a rainforest shower, silk window treatments, mother-of-pearl ceiling tiles and humongous flat screen televisions.
