So, as college kids would be expected to do, the UHON kids explored the area around the hotel last night. Apparently, this hotel (the Metropolitan) caters to business people with large expense accounts so everything here is outrageously expense. A cocktail in the bar is 12 euros (about $18), so at least we do not have to worry about them drinking the night away in the bar! The only businesses around the hotel are baby stores (we are next door to a maternity ward) and car dealerships, so no late-night clubbing for the kids. Last night we saw most of them playing cards in the lobby. Perhaps we can exhaust them enough during the day with adventures of such magnitude that the lack of late-night activities around the hotel will cease to be an issue.
As for the alums and the old people, we are settling in quite well. The hotel has all the amenities I like in a hotel -- air conditioning, sound-proof walls, hot water and Sweet 'n Low. Things we have not had at other hotels.
