“New President Raúl Castro’s government has lifted a ban on Cubans staying at hotels previously reserved for foreigners, ending another restriction that had been especially irksome to ordinary citizens.

“They have informed us that with a national ID card, anyone can stay here,” an employee at the Ambos Mundos Hotel in Old Havana. She insisted on anonymity because she is not authorized to speak to foreign reporters but said nonguests who are Cuban nationals also will be allowed to pay to enjoy other hotel services, including gyms.”*
