Hotel Oddity #36

Insert ten euro cents to make the elevator operate.
Got a dime for the lift?

Our hotel in Naples was on the second floor (they call it the first floor). We didn’t notice it had an elevator until the day we left. We usually take stairs when we can and, when we arrived, we were luggageless anyway. Two days later our suitcases joined us and at the end of our stay, we dragged them all to the elevator. It was the first time we’d seen an elevator meter. It required ten euro cents to operate.

Would an elevator toll be tolerated at a U.S. hotel? Hard to imagine.
