awwwwwwww YEAH
Oct. 31st, 2008 10:49 amChecked out of the Swampy Ghetto, checked into room generously paid for by credit card rewards...
Front Desk: I see they've put you in a different room[1], do you want to keep your old one?
Your humble correspondent: I'd rather not--it had a sort of mildewy smell to it
FD: Oh... Would you like one of the renovated rooms in the tower?
YHC: Why, that would be lovely.
So here I am in the 17th floor, the "Club Floor" I thank you, in the newly renovated tower. I have a beautiful view north past the convention center (which is a handsome building, at that) towards the city proper. I have real furniture and a king-size bed with, I counted, ten pillows. And I couldn't swear to it but I think the intarwubs are faster.
Happy Vacation To Me!
[1] the "Aquamarine Area", where my con hotel reservation was, was not one of the reward choices. I had booked the "Ivory Area", which is the same concept but on the other side of the complex and closer to center. It is also the "kid friendly" area, oh dear.
