Smart illumination choices are everywhere, from the sconces to a table lamp, a pendant light, four goose-neck bedside reading lights, and (my favorite) a motion-sensing closet light. It was obvious that whoever designed the lighting was as sick of dark hotel rooms as we are. The room itself emanates understated glamour, with soft, soothing earth tones and a significant amount of solid wood surfaces and touches, like doors, shelves, decor and bathroom accessories. Rooms at the new Sycuan Casino Resort hotel have many wood accents.
