converted into bedrooms with inadequate furniture and
bed lighting. As can be imagined those and some of the
smaller rooms are very cramped. In some cases although
a double bed is provided there seems to be no
justification for treating such a room as a double room.
The Arlington and Harbour View Hotels are well furnished
and conducted and we have no criticism to make of the
management of these two establishments.
Accounts of some of these hotels have been submitted and
our comments thereon are shown in Appendix IB.
Based on the facts and figures disclosed by such accounts
as have been available and the Committee's knowledge of the operations of these Residential Hotels we recommend that the accommodation rates for "resident guest" should
be :-
144
Arlington Hotel
$12
-
$16 per day for double rooms -
$6 per day for single rooms.
(a)
These rates should also apply to the following hotels
in this category:-
Harbour View Hotel, Melbourne Hotel, Ritz Hotel, Phillips
House. Lyton House.
We further recommend that 90% of the accommodation in
these hotels be reserved for "resident guests".
Note:- As long as the Ritz Hotel continues
to operate as a hostel for the staff of the
Royal Interocean Lines the foregoing
recommendation will not apply to this hotel.
Melbourne Apartments, Ritz Apartments.
We recommend that the accommodation rates for "resident
guests" in these hotels should be $10 to $12 per day for
double rooms and $5 for single rooms.
We also recommend that 70% of the accommodation in these
hotels be reserved for "resident guests".
