Hotel rooms

What is it with hotel rooms? To date I have only found one hotel room, in the Nhow Berlin in which it is even remotely possible to put on makeup. The lighting is appalling, the levels verge on twilight, the positioning of the lights is laughable and the mirrors, just do not get me started on the subject of mirrors. The rooms can only have been designed by men and men who do not care too much about their appearance.
As I say the Nhow in Berlin was streets ahead of anywhere I have been. Bright lighting in the right place, a magnifying mirror attached to the bathroom wall which was moveable in any direction but all the others without exception have been dire. To put on eyeliner you just need three hands, one to hold your own magnifying mirror, one for the eyeliner and the third to pull the skin taunt and all this standing up ! Architects and hoteliers you are all useless, well more than useless if there is such a thing. The Saratoga in Palma did have one saving grace, a wall mounted moveable bedside lamp but life was still pretty much impossible.
