Hey, but Bill Murray got to SLEEP with the jazz singer from the New York Bar. Whassamatter you?
In fact, on one stay just after the movie came out, the then-current GM mumbled something to me about how he hoped no one expected that.
But you gotta admit that what you propose is not a perfect evening for a couple on a honeymoon! And that evening you describe would likely cost about Y30,000 above the cost of the room alone just for one person.
P.S. I too would like to hear more about this health and safety issue.
