Pago--I'd like to hear about the hotel, since that was the original subject.
But I gotta put my 2 cents in and agree with scotfitz, considering the situation. Pago, I'm not so sure you'd like to hear the news that your family or friends blew up on the next flight from AMS (or anywhere in the world), would you? Just becuase someone didn't feel around the guy's crotch or a woman's boobs where the explosives were hidden? Get over it or don't fly.

I was once connecting in CDG (pre-9/11) with my mother (70-something then) when French security agent stuck her hands inside my mother's bra and down her pants!! She was grey-haired old broad with US passport and sporting 2 teflon hip joints--c'mon--what's with THAT??) She had a pacemaker alert card and we expected some physical patdown. We had to go a private room, wait for female agent, then she did THAT? We nearly missed the flight; Mom was crying and my Dad (always the stoic one) was not so HAPPY...
Aside from my little rant--where did you stay and how was the trip?
