Unexpected kindness
Pros:

We arrived and were shown our room. The room was fine except it was high up in the building up many flights of stairs. It was only for 1 night and we said nothing. However, the young lady who had shown us to the room could see we struggled with the stairs. She returned after a few minutes to say that she had spoken to her manager and they would 'upgrade' us to a room on the lower floor. This was much appreciated.

Cons:

The stairs.
