We're on the way home now, so we pitched up in Pocatello for two reasons: one, it was a place to stay the night; two, we’d come across the Black Swan Inn, a themed hotel which we needed to visit for its comic / novelty value (although work colleagues counselled that it had to be a swingers’ hotel. Like they’d know?!)
After a Facebook poll, we went for the Caveman Suite (it was the bone curtain rail that did it. The Egyptian Room was a close second). Do look at the website (and turn your speakers up)
Well, the Caveman Suite was FAB. Bigger than I’d imagined. And, luckily, on the ground floor because stairs can be quite hard for the elderly!
The whole space has been "hand carved" so it's rock (well, clay actually) with stalactites hanging from the ceiling and lighting hidden in crevices. Very womb like. Similar to the Hole N" Rock which I wrote about earlier.
We had to sign an agreement at reception about candles and candle wax..............
The bedroom area: a bouncy bed (animal-print satin sheets) lit from underneath,with paper tissues hidden in a rock crevice nearby(!), a huge TV screen, mood music playing and incense-ey smells emanating.
The theme, obviously, cave-like with animal prints. I immediately lost my camera which has a tiger skin case – it just melted into the room.
A double jacuzzi bath with tiger skin curtains and the water coming out of the rock-hewn ceiling. Again, a big old appliance handle thing screwed to the side so that the old folks can heave themselves out of the bubbling water.
