Today, I got done with the interview at about 5:00, got back to the hotel shortly after and then left again at about 6:30 to drive around and check out the area. When I got back to my room at like 8:30 - I couldn't get into my room! I was so annoyed. I went downstairs and there was this huge line of people checking in. I mean, give me a break! I shouldn't have to wait in line to get back in my room, the room where my key is supposed to work. So I finally asked the manager why my key no longer works and he was like 'Oh well, they get demagnetized really easily. It happens all the time.' So just because you are given a key to a hotel room, there is no guarantee that it will continue to work during your stay? Good to know! So I go up to the 9th floor again and guess what, my new key doesn't work either. I called them from the hall phone - hell no I wasn't going to go downstairs again! - and eventually a hotel engineer came up and tried to fix it. He could get me in with the master key but he still has no idea what happened to my key. They have some sort of troubleshooting device that hooks up to the lock, kind of like a battery tester, I guess, although it looks like one of those machines that swipe credit cards at a retail checkout. Anyway, it was such a hassle! I mean, when I get back to the hotel, I don't expect it to take an additional 20 minutes just to get back into my room. I am so filling out a comment card for here.
On the plus side, room service was good and quick.
