I had the oppertunity to stay at this hotel. The rooms ROCK!!! You just have to like different colors, and understand that you probably aren't going to be looking at the walls that much.

They have ultra comfy beds, and linnens, and the towels are better than at any hotel I have ever stayed at (Like the DoubleTree, or a few other nice hotels for over $100 a night.)

You just have to like the different approach they have done with this hotel, or not. And if you don't then don't stay there.

It really is AWESOME!!! I know my friends and I who live in Sacramento want to go stay the night, just for a mini vacation.

I HIGHLY RECOMEND checking this place out if you are ever in Sacramento, and like the IKEA type world.

I am only really familiar with Linksys, as that is what I personally use, so with that out of the way, let me continue.

My parents live in a 5600 sq ft Concrete Form (Foam outside, concrete inside) house. And for some reason the signal SUCKS unless you are within less than say 100 feet of the router, sometimes it sucks even when you are withing 100 feet.

So what I got them for their house was a:
(From Linksys site)
Wireless-G Range Expander
Expand The Range Of Your Wireless Network!
WRE54G
* The easiest way to expand your wireless network's coverage or extend the signal into hard-to-reach areas
* Save on wiring costs -- no wired connection to your network necessary
* Easy installation -- one-touch auto configuration
* Compatible with both Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking devices

I am sure others have this same sort of thing, but this is an easy fix for you to put in your office. Or, they have "High Gain Antenna's" that replace your normal ones. With both of these, there would definitly not be a connection issue.
However I also agree, put it as close to a window facing the outer building as possible.
