The number of people that had attended was quite large. Those that had arrived first were those that held a low position within the circle of the city. So, most of them decided to remain by the door, so that they could get a chance of striking a conversation with those that held high positions within the power structure.
And when they heard what Simon had said, they could not help but erupt in a moment of chatter. The majority of them agreed with what Simon had said. Just like Simon, they believed that this hotel was quite small, as compared to Jumbo Hotel of course.
So, in order to flatter Simon, who was part of the high society of the city, they decided to begin talking out loud about how he was right, and how Galaxy hotel was thinking so highly of itself.
