HOTEL ACCOMMODATION.
(To the Editor.) Sir.—There are many places in the country districts particularly, where the hotel accommodation for travellers is certainly not what it ought to bo. Fn fact the pleasure of seeing many of the most popular scenic resorts is greatly spoilt to the traveller as the result of the inadequacy of hotel accommodation and the utter disregard of some of the licensees for the comforts of their temporary guests. Let me give you an instance. I went to one "hotel" near a well-known' scenic resort on # the Coast and with a number of tourists had tojmt up with disgraceful conditions. Despite the fact that the number of tourists was the average we had to sleep five in a small room. There were only two towels between us and the facilities for washing wore of the most primitive kind. These were only a few of the discomforts we had to put up with. The only essential qualification for getting into an hotel is that of character.' Why should not aptitude for hotel keeping also be considered? For instance, when I asked for breakfast at 7.30 a.m. at ono country hotel I was told that it ■was too early—on a nice summer morning. It is never too early, or too late for that matter, to serve liquor however. Yours etc.— TOURIST.
