Cardinal Hotel, Palo Alto, CA

Great baby grand in the lobby. Key bed is unlocked but a sign warns you not to play it. Desk clerk would not allow. Said it's too old and out of tune. (looked serviceable to me) They said they also don't book professionals to play it. Just keeping it around for looks. The audacity to place a piano so prominently and then impose such structure... I know someone has played this piano. I probably wasn't dressed nicely enough. Good luck with this one
