You are at the front desk of the Griffon Hotel.  The desk is made of and
mohogany that spans the southern end of the room.  The area in front of the
desk is larger than most ballrooms that you have seen and looks even larger
because of its reflection in the polished marble floor.  A staircase sweeps
down a half level to the Hotel Lobby and up to the room floors.  
'Greetings Numi!' Griffon Hotel Desk Clerk exclaims. 'If you're looking for a room just type shop list to see what is available today.'
The Griffon Hotel Desk Clerk is here, standing behind the desk.
