Xxx.
Rest assured, I listened. And I do not consider 60 Euro for a bed to be expensice. The weak Dollar is not a European problem. This is one of the more expensive hotels in a pretty expensive city. You avoided booking a second room, got upgraded and asked for a third bed there and 60 Euro is well in between the hotels interest of selling another room and your interest in saving the cost of a second room. However, as you said: You avoided Geneva and everything is ok for you, so no problem.
