At surface level a hotel is all bright and shiny, with friendly staff paid to be at your beck-and-call throughout your stay. If you're extra nice, sometimes they'll even give you an upgrade. However; underneath all the glamour and gleam, even in the most prestigious hotel, there is a dark side. A side that only hotel staff know about. Join me (Krittah) as I take you into the secret world of hotels. So sit back, relax, and importantly enjoy your stay.

Produced by Chris Harriott. Engineered by Simon Leadley & Tim Ryan. Recorded & Mixed @ Trackdown Studios, Sydney. Cover designers Therese Kenyon & Jodi Shields.
