What is the Saddest Hotel in All of San Francisco?

Sigh. The saddest hotel in all of San Francisco -- no, make that California -- must be the Hotel Nikko. The place is set to reek of crushed hopes and dreams and probably also failure.

Get this: this summer, the Hotel Nikko's Rrazz room will be the first stop for Idols in Concert, the "traveling cabaret" of former American Idol contestants who placed mostly between fifth and eighth in the first six seasons of the show. This is not to be confused with the American Idols Live! tour; this is the Idol B-Team.

In a very, very depressing article, the SF Chronicle writes:

Beginning in July, 17 castoffs from the first six seasons of the popular Fox television singing competition will get a reprieve from the county fair circuit...finalists such as Gina Glocksen, Constantine Maroulis, Lisa Tucker, Christina Christian and Paris Bennett [Ed note: Who, who and who?], plus a handful of less memorable names...will reprise the performances that got them the most votes on the series.

It just makes us sad, you know? The show runs for 9 weeks at the Nikko before moving on. Tickets cost somewhere between $45 and $55; rooms at the Hotel Nikko start around $180.

Let's just say, hypothetically, that you and three of your friends were stranded in San Francisco with only $50 each. Would you rather spend that money on four tickets to the Idols in Concert show or, um, chip in to score a room at the 4 Diamond hotel hosting it?

Yeah, us too.

    It's unfortunate that Jenna sees it this way.  We at the Rrazz Room look at these Artists as winners.  Jennifer Hudson (Academy Award winner from Dreamgirls) is another top ten finalist.  Does Jenna consider her a "loser" as well?  Jenna missed the boat on this story.  Furthermore, how could someone comment on their experience at the Hotel Nikko or the Rrazz Room in San Francisco if they never stayed at the hotel, or spent an evening enjoying a show at the Rrazz Room?  Jenna commented on Idols at the Rrazz Room prior to the show even opening.  Shame on you Jenna.  The only way to get your facts straight is to see first hand the Hotel Nikko, The Rrazz Room, and Idols.  The Hotel Nikko and the Rrazz Room are deluxe establishments that deserve more than a fly by night comment from someone that has never seen a performance in this world class establishment.
