I’d never thought of checking if a safe was bolted down in a hotel room!

I echo the unnecessarily complex light switch controls they have, I felt like I pressed 3-4 buttons every time I needed to turn the lights on/off. The buttons are tiny and not backlit, so there is no way to know what you're looking at in the dark. I used my cell phone flashlight to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
The light switches are complex but as fransknorge pointed out in the first post when all lights are off there's a green light next to the bathroom light button by the bed.

I'm glad breakfast was included as a Diamond since I would be annoyed if I had to pay for that.
At Hilton, Conrad, Canopy, Curio, DoubleTree, etc. outside the US, Diamonds and Golds (plus one additional guest) receive complimentary Continental Breakfast and very often full/cooked breakfast.
