ambvSafPlusPlus: tell us the other reasons18:20
SafPlusPlusFond memories? Nah, I kinda liked the breakfast and lobby a bit better than etap... so...18:36
ahallSafPlusPlus: doesn't it get too hot in the nitenite hotel since it's windowless?18:37
SafPlusPlusI hadn't thought of that last time I visited there in Februari... and it was pretty hot when I checked in. It turned on what I think was the airco, so I'm hoping it'll be a bit colder later on.18:39
