Getting
into
your
room
reminded
me
of
the
introduction
to
the
1960s
American
sitcom
Get
Smart.
We
arrived
on
a
Sunday
night
when
there
was
no
one
at
reception.
To
gain
access
to
our
room,
we
received
an
email
with
a
page
of
instructions
,
a
link
to
an
app
we
had
to
use,
and
4
sets
of
passcodes
that
collectively
allowed
us
to
get
into
the
building,
into
the
lobby,
onto
our
floor,
and
into
our
room.
Here
was
part
of
the
instructions
“To
open
the
glass
door
before
the
lift
(not
the
street
door)
you
will
have
to
combine
pressing
the
button
on
the
intercom
that
says
“2º2ª
A”
plus
the
“Next
Door”
option
on
our
Akiles
cell
phone
access
tool.”
Whaaaaat?
The
room
was
big
(I
think
we
had
one
of
the
more
expensive
rooms
)
and
once
the
air
conditioning
got
cranked
up,
it
was
comfortable
to
sleep
in
for
the
next
four
nights.
The
breakfasts
were
satisfactory
and
included
yogurt,
bread
slices,
cheese,
some
cold
meat,
and
then
a
warm
egg
dish
each
day.
With
that
said,
it
was
disappointing
that
in
a
city
town
full
of
bakeries,
the
BnB
did
not
provide
a
selection
of
fresh
croissants,
rolls,
etc.
One
day
they
did
have
a
fresh
looking
cake
which
the
front
desk
person
said
was
left
over
from
the
owner's
birthday
party
for
her
son.
Yes,
you
are
reading
that
correctly.
We
received
seconds.
The
B&B
provides
wall-mounted
dispensers
of
soap
and
shampoo
in
the
shower
–
a
nice
touch.
Our
soap
dispenser
was
empty.
We
removed
it
from
the
wall
of
the
first
day
in
hopes
that
the
hotel
would
replenish
it
during
our
stay,
but
they
never
did.
Outside
of
our
room,
the
B&B
had
a
Nespresso
machine
and
a
kettle
for
hot
tea.
This
was
a
nice
touch
but
the
dirty
dishes
were
not
removed
nor
the
supplies
replenished
for
the
first
three
days
we
were
there.
I
do
not
mean
to
be
nit-picky
in
my
review
but
when
you
pay
top
dollar
for
an
accommodation,
your
standards
and
expectations
are
higher.
