I am a consultant based in Jakarta, Indonesia. My wife works on a part-time basis, so she can accompany me if I travel outside of Indonesia for business. The more we travel and stay at hotels, the more we delight in little details and attentions. During a good hotel stay we feel as if we are walking through a sculpture and noting ideas that made it a harmonious whole. The experience is like witnessing the blooming of a bud: it is precious because its moment will pass. TripAdviser ratings show how rapidly hotels rise and fall in ranking. We appreciate the dedication of good hotel managers and staff, and we appreciate the comments of other TripAdviser members who help us make the best-informed hotel choice.
