WORLDCON, 2009 -- Where No Loon Has Gone Before....
 
#15
Yeah, but this isn't a con rate, it's their standard rate. And the
smaller, less-fancy hotels I've been to in the same sort of cities don't pull these kinds of tricks.

And if they're going to charge this kind of extra money on top of the big room rate, shouldn't you be getting better internet? Instead, the connection is flakey and unreliable, and the speed isn't anything special. Maybe I'm
biased, but from where I'm sitting, it feels like "any excuse to gouge the customer some more."

Oh, and their tech support? Totally outsourced. Typical, yes. But when they connected me through to the 3rd party who handles all their internet problems
(and no-one is kept on staff to cover any such issues), the phone number was no longer valid! Bleah.

Okay, dangit, enough whining about the internet. I'm here to have fun, I'll just have to do it with the cloud portion of my brain lobotomized. Smile

Hm... I can see Mont-Royal from the lobby windows. Have to check a map, see how far a walk it is.
