1. For a hotel of this 'quality', I should not have had these problems.

2. I know what you're thinking: most of this stuff the hotel can't control? But really, all of these problems could have been easily solved with two things: a chain lock (to keep housekeeping from coming in and my dog from going out), and a good fan (to keep us cool and to provide white noise to sleep).

3. Of course this can happen anywhere, but my room was very near the elevator and I had no noise problem.

7. ) i don't know if my room had a problem or this is par for the course, but had i been staying for more than one night or realized it before i was ready to fall asleep, i would have checked with reception.

8. At checking out we notified the staff member of a loose part at the tub (a minor technical thing, no real problem) and then asked what it was about this magic word, and that we hadn't received anything beyond what we had booked.

9. Since we had only one outer wall and were surrounded by heated rooms from all other sides, it was not a problem, the room didn't get cold over night.
