Couple on exhibit in free hotel room

NEW YORK - A British couple visiting New York said they
have accepted a free five-star hotel room with one catch
-- they will be watched by passersby through clear walls.
Duncan Malcolm and Katherine Lewis said the Roger Smith
Hotel, located in the heart of New York's Manhattan
borough, told them they can stay for free in a replica
room built on the ground floor of a nearby building, with
the provision that the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling
windows are kept open between the hours of 4:30 p.m. and
7:30 p.m., Britain's The Daily Telegraph reported. The
couple said the bedroom and the bathroom of the replica
hotel room are hidden from the view. They said they plan
to stay in the room for five days.
