Bikes: Lots

It's not even an option.

1) The lifts are too small.
2) The rooms are too small.
3) They have storage rooms for bicycles, and often escort us there, so entertaining the idea of somehow taking a bicycle into our room is out of the question.

It's great that so many of the places we've been having storage places for the bicycles, but it usually means hauling everything up flights of stairs and down long hallways. Thank goodness we only have 2 panniers and not 4!! But combined with a Carradice and handlebar bags, it's a lot of stuff to haul around, especially up stairs.
