Beware! This is going to be a long one! ,)
So, here I am in my hotel hallway because this is the only place I can get wireless internet access. I spent most of yesterday trying everything under the sun, but nothing worked as well as sitting by the window down by the emergency exit. Delightfull. If I ever come back to this hotel I'm definitely going to make sure it's a room I can easily get i-net access to. I booked the room so I could get to the Jason Mraz show. Now that I'm here, I'm not really in the mood.
In the spirit of hotels, here's a list I've compiled of things hotels should keep track of:
> smoking rooms should have air exchangers in them and windows that open more than an inch and a half. *cough cough fans air*
> When the advertisement says 'soundproof rooms,' make sure they really are soundproof. I was really excited to be able to play my iTunes loudly and with abandon.
> If there is any room in your hotel that can not access the internet wirelessly (and you've advertised the "wireless internet in EVERY room!") at least have a chair/couch and table somewhere on the floor for those folks who end up sitting on the floor in the hallways.
> Ice, soda and snack food vending machines should be on ALL floors. Don't make me wander the halls in my jammies, damnit.
FUTURE POSSIBLE EVENT:
I was looking in the "guide to vancouver at night" that I found in the lobby and saw an ad for Crush which sparked an idea - Let's have my upcomming birthday bash there! What better excuse to get together with my Van "peeps" than a birthday celebration?! Plus, by the end of January we'll need another night out, right? I'm looking into it. It'll probably be Saturday, Jan 28. I'll keep everyone who wants to know, in the know.
