Praise For Our Hotels
) JOBBERNS: How did you find the New Zealand hotel as a place to stay? BOWMAN: I didn’t realise at first that the word hotel had a double meaning here. With us it is essentially a sleeping place. But here in New Zealand the most important part of the hotel business seems to be done in the bar. By the way, I don’t think you New Zealanders should take very seriously the complaints levelled against your hotel accommodations by American tourists. I have found hotels here quite satisfactory, and I believe that the sort of people who object to conditions here are the sort who would object anywhere, even in America.-("Life in America and New Zealand," 3YA July 31).
