The Bel Age (no longer the Wyndham I guess) in West Hollywood does the same thing. Of course, they were nice enough to explain it at the desk before I went to the room. I suspect they just thought the idea of the giant American cursing the darkness was funny. You don’t have to go all the way to Rome for the light switch game.

Our key came with a 5 pound or so keychain, which I found odd. "Guess it's so you don't lose your keys". After getting in the room and playing the same comical light game, we realized that we had to hang the heavy keychain on a hook by the door and that kept the lights on. I felt like I was in a game of Zork. You see a door in front of you with a hook to the left. > Hang keys on hook. Bingo. It is a good idea though. Now if they can just figure out the concept of a shower curtain and air conditioning that doesn't require a PhD to operate...

Such a shame! A tragedy! Bucuresti != 'Eastern Europe' ...not at all! Not even close. However, maybe you'll reconsider in the future. Best of luck with the remainder of your journey.
