Reading SIX: Hotel comments

[Rotorflyr]

Having not been to the other hotel my impressions of the Morgantown set are as follows:

The bar closing early is mostly a non-issue, as most did the BYOB thing and no one was given any greif over drinking in the parking lot.

The breakfast thing wasn't a problem for me and mine as we didn't try to have any at the hotel, but if we had, would probably have ordered room service anyway, thereby being able to order off the menu without problem.

We didn't have any problems with the housekeeping, but were aware of some minor problems others had. These issuse seemed to be resolved easily, even if it took a trip to the front desk to do it.

Not being hassled about the runs being done across the back of the parking lot was nice, and the few complaints that there were, IMO stemed from others not even involved with the meet being stupid for the most part, such as the pick-up truck Fri night, kid with the geo Sat night, etc....

The only thing that would have been better is if the groups of kids that were there for both a sweet 16 party and a dance of some sort weren't there, but this isn't a hotle issue, just a "luck of the draw" issue. Oh, and the fact there weren't any statues for Jessie to ride

The pluses are:

The Bar (which I didn't use)
The Pool (ditto)
The built-in dragstrip

The minuses:

No fridges in the rooms
No Internet access unless you brought your own laptop
Limited dining access (breakfast only till 10:00, no lunch)

I personally liked the other motel for the fact that we could open the windows and take pictures from there. And the seating area outside the front door was cozy. All in all, I thought the other hotel was more "intimate."

(Not to mention the elephant.)

Just my $.02.

Diana,
Actually some of the rooms had fridges (we had one in our room) and iirc you could have one sent up for $10 a day if the room didn't have one.

I liked the new/ old place.

Our room was sweet (got a fridge)

Room service rocks (cuties that brought breakfast)

Guests (goth chicks that got down on their nees in front of me)

Awsome parking lot (that damn tempting 1/4 mile)

But no statues (we'll work on that)

Overall I give it a

I agree with Diana that last year's hotel was a lot more cozy and intimate.

I am one of those with problems with housekeeping this year. They came a knocking at 8:30 Saturday morning and were politely (especially since they woke us up) told we were not ready for them. After that they never came back even though we were out of the room. Never got fresh towels and wash cloths. Never got fresh coffee for the coffee maker (my biggest gripe). I went to the desk Sunday morning and asked what housekeeping was to have replaced during their visit the previous day. When I informed them that we never got fresh towels I merely got an "oh?" I then asked about the coffee and they just stared at me stupidly then asked what I want them to do about it. Then he asked if I would like some coffee. The mustachioed gal at the desk then asked if I wanted a voucher for a continental breakfast (donut) to which I politely declined. I got back to my room (4th floor, farthest corner) and brewed my coffee only to realise that we never got clean coffee mugs to replace the ones from before. I called the desk and asked them to send up some clean mugs. Several minutes later the gal from the desk shows up at the door with a couple styrofoam cups, says "here" as she puts them in my hand and turns and walks away. Not even an "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, sir" or nothing. In fact I don't recall them apologizing for anything when I went to the desk earlier. The service at this place blows. The lobby was full of unsupervised kids running around wet and screaming to and from the pool and tracking puddles of water into the elevators. It was like "Lord of the Flies" there.

On the plus side, the room itself was nice and the buttons on the TV remote were the most responsive that I ever used.

You did see the buggy didn't you???

I was commenting to someone that you'll probably end up in the buggy by the end of the night, the response was based on your experience earlier in the day stating "he'll probably blow the horse"

[NomadTW]

oh yeah, the unopening windows sucked too

on another note this hotel seemed to have for the most part evaded the meet monster (only injury was jesse's motor [would've happened anyway 165shot nitrous]) no blown tranny's this year
