Feedback / Hotel Feedback
« on: May 30, 2014, 13:54:22 »
Hi everyone!

I must say, I really like the new hotel. I found it a little bit dark and stuffy at first, but the impression changed as soon as it was flooded with furries - it's amazing what a few metric tons of cute can do to lift up the atmosphere!

My room: You could tell this is not a very new building, and that it has seen more than just one renovation cycle. But the room was clean, comfy, absolutely up to standard, and I was positively surprised not to have a single key card failure :) I had some very minor issues, but nothing out of the ordinary for a hotel of that size and age. And it was absolutely not a problem.

Service: Top notch. Personnel was always friendly, very helpful, housekeeping did a spotless job and the concierge desk was a very welcome luxury, too - they made some very good dining recommendations, reserved a table for us, and got us a taxi. Perfect. I felt really well cared for.

Travelling: Being able to go from the airport to the hotel on foot - it really doesn't get any better.

The bar: Very comfy, with the sofas and all, just the right place to camp out for a week and be social while getting hammered. Drink prices were absolutely normal for this kind of venue, and the discount was a nice touch - I even ended up spending quite a bit less than I thought I would. The bar seemed to be a little bit understaffed, especially in the later hours. I actually had to grin - as someone who's frequently had to negotiate with convention venues, I know that in the first year, they ALWAYS underestimate the sheer drinking power of furries :) So I expect them to modify their shift plans for next year - unless they're colossaly stupid :)

Food: Surprisingly edible! I had a Hilton Burger, a Steak Sandwich and some Pizza, and found the quality very decent. I also can't complain about the BBQ. Four kinds of meat, and lots of salad and sauces and a really good dessert. Much better than at the last venue!

Function Space: It apparently had lots of it :) I heard people complain about the slightly confusing layout, but I think everyone eventually got it. Maybe a little more signage would help next year. I found no reason to complain though, the rooms were large enough at all events I attended, and it never got too hot.

Good pick, guys!

Feedback / What is it with the lack of chairs?
« on: May 28, 2014, 18:03:19 »
Hi!

You all know, I really love Confuzzled, and I really prefer to give positive feedback than negative. But this time, there was one thing that really ruined the experience for me at more than one occasion. I attended four "main stage" class events: The opening ceremonies, the pawpetshow, the dance contest and the closing ceremonies. And in three of those four events, there were no chairs for the audience, and I ended up sitting on the floor.

Now, you can make all the jokes about me being old and fat, but sitting on a cold concrete floor for an hour or longer is not just uncomfortable, but literally a pain in the ass. And my back. And my legs. I nearly walked out of the dance compo after the third act or so, because I just couldn't find a position that either didn't hurt after a minute, or made my legs go numb. Opening and Closing weren't much better.

Now, I've dealt with a couple of hotels myself, and usually, they'll be happy to set up any seating arrangement for any type of occasion, and they're usually also very quick - and unless you need to rearrange every room 10 times a day, they'll usually not even charge anything extra for it. So I really don't see why there wasn't any proper seating for so many seated events.

Really, guys, the fandom does not exclusively consist of 19 year old twinks practiced in the art of sucking their own ... toes ... and sitting cross-legged for hours :) I'm a 40 year old office nerd, and having a chair makes a big difference for me :)
