Last night on NBC's "The Apprentice: Martha Stewart", the show's new host, challenged her batch of pledges to design a mind-blowing suite for the Westin Hotel in New York's Time Square.

What they came up with is... well... the verdict is still out. Their creation was dubbed the Renewal Suite, and it comes with innovative room features like a Decompression Chamber, plus a relaxation space consumed with white lotus orchids, candles, and a cascading water wall. Furthermore, the crew threw in an Asian inspired workout space with a bamboo floor, a DVD spinning class to watch while on a Reebok bike, a fitness library, designer furniture, and finally cashmere robes and slippers. It really is hard to find fault, unless of course someone throws us a key card and lets us into the room.

Oh, did we mention the price tag?--- $2000 per night. Yeah, not exactly affordable.

Just for kicks, we thought it would be fun to request a reservation to find out if Martha madness was still for real.. still waiting for the promised call back.

Stewart's version of the Apprentice debuted to disappointing ratings; let's hope her "Apprentice" inspired suite will do better. Goin' legit is never easy.
