The Westin Charlotte Is “Happy”

Back in 2011 I started following the Westin Charlotte on Facebook because they were offering 1,000 Starpoints for any user that posted a picture on their wall and got 50 “likes.” Clearly they forgot how the internet works and how crafty some people are, so they ended up trying to backpedal.

Anyway, I still follow them on Facebook, and today they posted this video to Pharrell’s song “Happy” (which I happen to think is really overrated, but…):

I mean, I couldn’t not share that. And the guy at 51 seconds definitely takes home all the prizes…

I’d say the Brussels Airport video and Munich Airport video still win, but this is pretty awesome (or cheesy? or…?).

I hate "Happy" with a pathological passion.

It's actually kind of nice to know that the people that work at this hotel are a lot like those at any other office/workplace. Yes, it's kind of a cheesy video, but at least they seem more happy than not. Bet they never thought so many people would watch the video.

I can't with this. The scene at 1:32 looks like it was filmed in the community room of a home for the bewildered. And really? Jumping all over the beds in guest rooms with their shoes on? And the repeated lyric 'Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof' makes it seem as if they're setting up guests expectations for their stay in the 'unfinished' wing of the hotel.

The only part of my stays at this property which was memorable was that they poured jelly all over the cheeses at breakfast.
