This conferencehad better be good...

Avid readers will remember that I booked a room at the Crossroads Hotel several days ago. I was very happy to hear about the "conference rate". The reservation was guaranteed on my AmEx card, and I made a point of saying that I would arrive late ("after midnight"). "no problem, sir - you just guaranteed the room..."

I arrived around 0015. Anyone want to bet there was a room?

They sent me to the nearby Holiday Inn Express, with the story that "10 rooms have been moved there". So I went (did I have a choice?). Anyone want to bet that the Holiday INn Express folk knew anything about my reservation?

At least, the Holiday Inn Express people were competent, and I'm actually in a room (but you guessed that, no?) Anyone want to bet that I have the $45/night "conference rate" that convinced me it was better to drive late Thursday night instead of very early Friday morning?

I have great faith that it will all be sorted out in the a.m., but right now I'm not a happy camper.
