 Approaching my hotel / hostel involved going through a courtyard and taking an elevator to the lobby. At night the courtyard was shut with a sliding gate and monitored by a video camera. It involved buzzing the "concierge" and bypassing the gate by entering where the lady is shown and exiting again into the courtyard on the other side. I had to laugh because it seemed more like "Hotel Transient Keep Out" |
