Hotel Room Questions & Power Adapters

Based on some questions Brad had, I looked into room safes, laundry, power adapters, etc. Here is what I found:

Boscolo Bellini - Venice Rooms Feature
1 king bed. Desk. In-room safe. Television - Satellite service. Minibar. Bidet. Bathroom telephone. Hair dryer. Complimentary newspaper. Air conditioning. Climate control. Non-smoking rooms only. Internet Access (surcharge), Laundry facilities

Double bed or two single beds combined, hair dryer, mini bar, safe, TV lcd Sat, Wi-Fi, adjustable air conditining warm/cold, daily cleaning, bed linen and towels change after 3 days. - This B & B does not have any laundry services

Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Electrical adapters, Individual climate control, Safe, Wireless Internet (fee), Hair dryer, Valet dry-cleaning

Outlets:

Electricity in Italy comes out of the wall socket at 220 volts alternating at a 50 cycles per second. In the US, electricity comes out of the wall socket at 110 volts, alternating at 60 cycles per second. Not only the voltages and frequencies, but the sockets themselves are different. The adapters sold at REI were recommended by frequent Italy travelers online.

Ciao!
