We get excited around here when we here about a new hotel opening. So excited in fact that browsers start crashing, and computers begin to freeze up--yeah we need help.

Now that we are past our initial phase of excitement, let us tell you about an interesting new boutique hotel in Amsterdamn aptly named the College Hotel.

You see, when you stay at the College Hotel college kids are at your beck and call. Don't let this conjure up visions of trying to get a bagel at Noah's from a bunch of pierced Cal yahoo's. No, no, no. Think interns that really want to please you with their high level of service. These kids are no doubt the upstanding resume building youth of Amsterdam. These college students are all studying the art of hospitality, and hoping to find gainful employment in said industry after graduation.

The hotel is set in the Museum district, a short walk from the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum. Inside the property you will find tall ceilings, comforting fireplaces, and stretching staircases, according to Travel Intelligence.

We have one question? Did a college student write the hotel's Internet copy? If so we would like to inform them that...

"bath or douche with cascade showerhead"

...is an interesting way to describe the loo.

You see, here in the states, the word douche has a duel meaning. We have heard the word douche used to describe something that helps a woman stay fresh, and we have also heard the term douche used to describe Late Night host Jay Leno.

We recommend the copy simply read "bath with cascading showerhead." Let any sort of douche in the room, whether it be Jay Leno or otherwise, be surprise to the guest.

Capiche?
