ROFLMAO – Hotel Mgr:

We can’t wait for this to be  over, to tell you the truth,” he said in a sudden hush…

(Via Daily Mail)  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.
First lady Michelle Obama, her mother Marian Robinson, and her daughters Sasha and Malia are in Beijing for the beginning of a week-long tour, and their hotel's staff are already tired of themThe 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. Obama’s mother Marian Robinson has been ‘barking at the staff since she  arrived.’
Government security forces from both  China  and the U.S. started Thursday to screen everyone who entered the  building,  including paying guests, setting up checkpoints that resemble those at airline  concourse entrances.
The Secret Service’s monopoly on the hotel’s  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 don’t understand.’
‘We can’t 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.’

"Word, Yo"
“Word, Yo”

The first lady’s press  secretary, Joanna Rosholm, declined to comment.
The Westin Beijing Chaoyang’s ‘oasis’ presidential suite  isn’t the only part of the hotel that the Obama’s have monopolized: Their Secret  Service contingent has allegedly bumped some high-paying guests from their  rooms.
A U.S. Secret Service  spokesperson promised answers to MailOnline’s questions but didn’t provide any  in time for publication.  (read more)
