Nice story from the concierge
We are staying at a really lovely old hotel in Back Bay, Boston called the Lenox Hotel - it's so lovely and everyone is really friendly. Today the guy on concierge showed us a display cabinet of memorabilia from the hotel and one thing was an original receipt from a couple who'd stayed at the hotel for their honeymoon in 1954. Their son had found the receipt while helping them move home and sent it to the hotel, explaining he thought they might like it's historical significance - the couple's wedding night cost $4.40 at the time. When the hotel manger enquired and found out the couple were alive and well and happily together, he invited them to spend their 60th wedding anniversary at the hotel, and they charged them $4.40 for their stay. They made a big deal of them and gave the real VIP treatment. The funny thing is, when the car pulled up with the couple in, the old man got out and said, "What is this place?? We've never been here have we?!!" Very cute!!
