The mysterious Babylon Hotel

Two doors down from the Bayan Motel is the four star Babylon Hotel, but for the life of me I can't work out what is going on there and the staff at the Bayan don't know either. Most of the time it appears closed, the foyer is in darkness and the only lights on are at the very top floors. Mind you Kurds keep their curtains closed ALL the time so even if people were in the rooms it would be hard to know.

Then mysteriously on some days it is a normal hotel - the reception is all lit up with people sitting in the chairs and walking about. Last night there were lights on in several windows. It is not rundown, no one working on the building renovating or repairing so what is going on at the Babylon remains a mystery.
