thanks for thanking me blairvanhorn
one more note on the room was that it had 2 2-line phones (on the desk and by the bed) and a one line phone in the bathroom. there were also a bunch of modem connection sprockets conveniently placed above the level of the desk (i don't have a laptop so i couldn't tell you about the speed or whatever it is you measure this stuff by) but thought these features worth sharing for the business travellers.
