Letiole, I would agree with you if I was at a hotel that was NOT part of an American hotel chain. While there may be more locals than Americans staying there, the hotel is an American hotel. Period. I expect an American hotel to offer American comfort and furnishings when requested by a guest. Same thing if a person from Japan stayed at the ANA hotel in Chicago. He or she would have the right to expect Japanese style comfort and furnishings.
Also, I understand that many travellers want to experience the foreign culture. I am not one of those travellers. That is why I picked the Hilton. The intent of my post was to warn/advise others like me as to what they will find.
