The products and services provided in hotels, as a rule, are standard, but sometimes depending on the appointment of a hotel (business, rest) they can have specific nature. For me, the hotel is not just the place for a lodging for the night. It is the temporary house. The house in which everything is brought to perfection. And the most pleasant is that this perfection is not created by me. It isn't necessary to clean, bring things to the order. You can relax, you can behave more freely, it is possible to count on an invisible hand which will ...

In as much as the authorities have a clear cut on how to conduct themselves when handling hostile crowds, there should be a line of reasoning.
