Hi Cheri and all, Yes, my husband is 6'6" and we do have to be careful when traveling. We have resorted to a chair at the end of the bed with a pillow on it more than once! However, my hubby has never been to Portugal or the Azores so it must be someone else you are thinking of Cheri. Perhaps I've related some of our experiences in other places to you. If we were only staying for a night or maybe two, we wouldn't let the bed situation stop us from a certain hotel because, usually, you can work something out. If a longer stay is planned the length of the bed does become important.
Happy travels everyone, Sam in Maz From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cheri Mello Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2013 10:16 AM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores trip I've stayed in both "residencials" (2nd class hotels) and "casa de hospitalidades" (I think that's the spelling). In the residencials, I've had my own bath. In the casa de hospitalidades, I shared a bathroom. I also rented an apartment or condo for the week with Shirley Allegre. The residencials and casa de hospitalidades are both pretty simple...you get a bed and a shower. No fancy luxury decor. No swimming pool or spa. But for those who do consider the hotel as part of their vacation and want a pool or spa or other amenities of the more upscale hotels, they do have them there. Last time I was in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island (and that must be 8 or so years ago), they had just opened and Comfort Inn. I don't think that's a super luxury hotel, but it looked really nice. The beds are short. I think Sam's hubby had a hard time being over 6 feet tall if I remember right. She'll comment on that if I'm remembering the right person. (Yes, Sam on this list is a female).
