As promised, we've got more to show you from the hotel starting now with Public Express, the Public Hotels' new room service concept. We love room service but there are times when we just don't want to bothered with all the pomp and circumstance that comes with having room service delivered to your room--you know, the awkwardness of letting the waiter into your room, hoping you are not too disheveled looking and that there isn't any underwear strewn about, waiting uncomfortably while he sets juliana 2011-09-14T11:11:40-05:00 Las Vegas: Do Tea Drinkers Get The Short End Of The Hotel Stick? http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/8/31/102233/741 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/61268/Tea.jpg" class="top">Coffee coffee everywhere, and not a drop to drink... When it comes to standard hotel amenities, coffee makers rank up there with pillows, a working toilet, soap. Basic. But for many of us, a bowl of instant coffee packets is about as useful as a hairbrush to a bald person. When it comes to in-room tea options, we've found some hotels to be quite lacking. Take a look at this picture of a recent Las Vegas hotel we stayed in. Plenty of coffee! But where's the tea? Nevermind the inconvenience of trekking to the nearest Starbucks for our early morning joltwhen equally-in-need coffee drinkers can simply reach across their nightstandbut it also raises an uglier question.

The answer: not this! Despite the fact that both Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are vegetarians, the Liverpool Beatles-themed Hard Day's Night Hotel proudly features the "Hard Day's Night Burger" on their room service menu, ringing up at a cool 13.75 GBP. That, with the current exchange rate, is a $22.18 burger, a cost made up for by the giant potato wedges qualifying as gourmet chips on the side.

If it weren't for Ringo's history of stomach issues, maybe he would have ordered it. But you know what? We're still sticking with not, since the hotel features a Lennon Suite and a McCartney Suite, but no Starr Suite...yet.
