| Rustycon 26: our hotel |
[Jan. 9th, 2009|10:11 am] |
May I just say how freakin awesome the Marriott is, especially in comparison to the Holiday Inn last year, but really, even without comparison.
We had the Pre-Con Meeting with them yesterday, which was pretty much all about, "how can we be the best con hotel EVAR?"
Then, we were looking at the breakfast menu. You know, the "put this on your door by midnight, and we'll bring you really expensive breakfast" menu? And we realized that if we ordered off the "sides" it was no more expensive than going to Denny's. And considering how crazy expensive the hotel restaurant is, one less Denny's trip per day is a good thing! So we got really yummy oatmeal and bacon for me, and a bagel with cream cheese and bacon and ham for Drew, all for less than going to Denny's. And we didn't even have to leave the room!
They also have a thing you can set outside your door saying what time you want your room cleaned (10-noon, 12-2, or 2-4).
The beds are super comfy. Really, really comfy.
The maintenance staff is friendly and fast. We had an A/C problem that couldn't be fixed, but that was okay, because we got switched to a bigger room, easy-peasy. |

When we did the NASFiC bid I attended my second Rustycon at the 1961 Worldcon hotel. Cascadiacon's second hotel should have been the Marriott.
