It worked!

Well, after going out for most of the day on a nerd pilgrimage to the University of California at Berkeley and then to a slightly dodgy-looking bar in the Mission to meet a bunch of people from The Internet (tm) almost all of whom I hadn't met before, I got back and found that my room has indeed been changed - the new room is much nicer, has a bath, has a desk, and even has a window which looks out on the street (and the cable car line) rather than out onto a fire escape. Hurrah!

Oh yes, and they have free coffee available 24 hours/day, which has to be a big win.

Yay! Hoorah for U.S. customer service.

...of course, now you need to teach them about free tea 24x7. Though, knowing California, it'd only end up being some 'erbal mush or other.

Cool. SF etc is very nice. Which reminds me, should put the photos up from November's holiday there. Enjoy!

UCB is much nerdier when we're not on Spring holidays. You should have waited until today, Monday proper, to watch all of us nerds wandering around in a daze with our piping hot cups of coffee. BTW, there are better cafes than Starbucks with free wireless in Berkeley. ;-)

Yay. Thanks. You made me do this http://www.undo.com/bjorn/photos/personal/SF03/. The SF photos from November.

I'm sure that unlimited, fresh, piping-hot 'real' tea is also available at no charge. Just ask.

Keep in mind: Right now, San Francisco is roughly half-price for those traveling on the £. There has never been a better time to visit.

And maybe someone should mention what fine individual initially suggested the wonderful Hotel Union Square.
