| The stone finish blends the natural marble
tiles on the floor and walls |

would be either impossible or cost prohibitive, so the simulated alternative offers an
excellent effect Brooks Hotel

connecting two rooms is dark and uninteresting, so the
block effect no only provides a little needed drama...... |
