When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

I certainly wouldn't use saga or soap opera as I don't think they're suitable marketing terms. Both have negative connotations from TV, and I'm sure the hotel wouldn't welcome them. As Carol said, I think it's a bit soon to be talking of history or legends.

: Can't help thinking that "soap opera" would NOT be a good marketing term here - very negative connotations! I believe you'll see the reasoning explained fairly clearly in the Discussion Box//Sorry, it's in Sheila's answer, not the Discussion Box

: this is another - quite different - slant, which I think has possibilities. Have to say though that your Explanation (or lack of...) leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to judging the "helpfulness" of answers

: Storied slightly ironic when referring to multi-level buildings, don't you think? Could refer to changes or additions to storEYS, couldn't it?
