Political Editor PUBLISHED: 16:12 EST, 21 March 2014 | UPDATED: 09:02 EST, 22 March 2014 53,157 shares 2345 View comments Scroll down for video Michelle Obama and three of her family members are staying in a $8,350-per-night Beijing presidential suite, but despite a 24-hour butler and other perks that come with the lodging, her entourage has inconvenienced pretty much everyone and made the hotel staff fed up, a well-placed hotel staffer has told MailOnline. The sumptuous pad at the Westin Beijing Chaoyang hotel – its website calls the room an oasis of comfort – is a 3,400-square-foot masterpiece including a private steam room, corner sofas with silk pillows, and in-room dining for six. But the Obamas stay has already affected staff and guests at the hotel, with the Westin front-desk veteran alleging that Mrs. Obamas mother Marian Robinson has been barking at the staff since she arrived.

Many of the agents in Mrs. Obamas detail are Asian-American, helping them avoid standing out while they protect the first lady -- but confusing some hotel guests who dont understand why they cant board some elevators Government security forces from both China and the U.S. started Thursday to screen everyone who entered the building, including paying guests, setting up checkpoints that resemble those at airline concourse entrances. The Secret Services monopoly on the hotels highest floors has meant the Westin had to boot guests with previous reservations out of their executive-level rooms. Secret Service agents are also monopolizing hotel elevators long before the Obamas need them, added the staffer, who identified himself as a member of the concierge staff and spoke English during a phone call on Friday. Many of them are Asian, too, or Americans who are Asian, so you know our guests dont understand. More... No interviews, please!

The agency generally does not speak publicly about security arrangements for the officials it protects. A spokesman for Starwood Hotels, which owns the Westin chain, referred questions to Secret Service. Ordinary Chinese who have met the American first lady have described her in media reports as approachable and friendly, and the hotel staffer agreed. The first lady is gracious, and the girls are lovely, he said. The Westin employee and another colleague said Sasha and Malia Obama have been on their best behavior because Mrs. Robinson has kept them on a short leash. They emphasized that they have had a disappointing experience with the protection detail that accompanies Mrs. Obama everywhere. Wealthy hotel guests bumped from their reserved rooms into other less-luxurious accommodations have inundated the front desk with complaints. As a condition of the first lady staying at the Westin, the Secret Service blocked off all the rooms near the presidential suite.. The Washington Times reported Thursday that an entourage of about 70 people is accompanying the guests of honor to China at taxpayer expense. More guards than guarded?

China News Service described the first lady on Friday as Mrs Diplomatic, and the Xinhua news agency dubbed the trip an unprecedented and historical moment in the chapter of China–U.S. relations. The trip wont come cheap. Judicial Watch, a watchdog group in Washington, D.C., reports that it cost more than $11 million for President and Mrs. Obama to travel to Africa for Nelson Mandelas memorial service in December. The first couple were in Africa for less than 13 hours. The Obamas 2013 visit to Africa, a longer affair, reportedly cost Americans .
