Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced pretty much everyone and made the hotel staff fed up, a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline. The sumptuous pad at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel – its website calls the room an oasis of comfort – is a 3,400-square-foot masterpiece including a private steam room, corner sofas with silk pillows, and in-room dining for six. But the Obamas stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obamas mother Marian Robinson has been barking at the staff since she arrived. The Secret Services monopoly on the hotels highest floors has meant the Westin had to boot guests with previous reservations out of their executive-level rooms. Secret Service agents are also monopolizing hotel elevators long before the Obamas need them, added the staffer, who identified himself as a member of the concierge staff and spoke English during a phone call on Friday. Many of them are Asian, too, or Americans who are Asian, so you know our guests dont understand. We cant wait for this to be over, to tell you the truth, he said in a sudden hush. We entertain many important people here, but this has been, I think, very different. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2586367/Beijing-hotel-workers-fed-Obama-entourage-3400-square-foot-8-350-night-suite-inconveniencing-pretty-ladys-mother-barking-staff.html
