Short Time Rooms Inside Nana Plaza
[QUOTE=EihTooms;2749512]The room as described by the excellent trip reporter Mr. York sounds like the shitty short time room I experienced a few years ago near the Mandarin go-go bar on the second level of Nana Plaza at the top of the escalator.[/QUOTE]Four or five years ago I clicked with a total sweetie at Mandarin, and for a few days I was a repeat customer. She always insisted on using one of the short time rooms that were literally steps away from her bar. I tried to convince her to step across the street to my suite at the Shama, explaining that it was very close and considerably nicer. (The girls seemed to really like having their own bathrobe.) But she wanted to stay in the friendly confines of Nana Plaza. Perhaps there was some financial arrangement between the Mandarin and the nearby facility. Perhaps she'd had a bad experience in a customer's hotel and preferred a place where security was standing by. Perhaps she was anxious to get back to the bar soonest. Who knows?
The place was definitely convenient, and it was nice to dispense with the formalities required when escorting a guest into the Shama Suites. I wouldn't describe the ST facility as "shitty. " It was clean and the guys in charge seemed to run a tight ship. The shower worked fine, and there was plenty of hot water at a good pressure. In any event, if I wanted to bar fine my sweetie I had no choice. She seemed relaxed and happy there, so that was fine by me.
