Scotch Watch: Chapter 4

Dear Westin,

Consider this glass of five-day-old melted ice with a lemon twist a token of the fine job housekeeping has done in creating a lovely ambiance to wish me well each morning and welcome me home each night. While most upscale hotels would whisk this away—out of sight, out of mind—apparently you do not, feeling there’s some value to keeping this reminder of my first hour on the property fresh (relatively speaking) in my mind and in those of the neighboring guests.

It’s an odd sentiment, admittedly, but one I’ll remember forever.

Trust me on that.

Regards,
