I'm catching up with family etc in the UK next month and have booked 
a hotel.

Looking at the Holiday Inn website tonight I notice a section titled 
"Hotel Highlights" - the contents of which are:

' Reception, lounge & meeting rooms being refurbished from 19 May - 30 
Jun 08. Temporary Reception & limited bar/dinner service operating 
from meeting rooms. Boxed breakfast will be made available.
Now with air conditioning in every guestroom! '

So the fact I've paid full price for breakfast and dinner and will not 
be getting that, or the use of the lounge (not a great disappointment) 
is apparently a highlight of my stay - still air conditioning, hmm, 
for foreigners that might turn out to be misleading, - British air 
conditioning used to mean, there is a heater for the winter, and 
either the window opens or someone can rustle up a fan during summer.

I wait to be hornswaggled!   Of course there is the question of why 
they intend to renovate at the beginning of the summer season.
