My 'are you kidding me?' moment for the day.
The last two years I've gone to DragonCon, I've enjoyed it. And I've been lucky, extremely lucky. My first year was a gift and everything was taken care of, my second year I lucked out so much, that I never have to worry about fighting for a hotel again.
But I feel so sorry for the people that work in the hotels, I really do. Reading other s posts on FB and seeing that they call every week to try and get a room, and this and that.
I would absolutley lose it. I'm not a people person but I work with the public and I am very very good at it. But the entitlement kills me.
1) If I owned a hotel in Downtown Atlanta, let me be perfectly clear, it would be a one night non refundable deposit for all rooms on Labor Day weekend, regardless why you are there. Maybe that would stop people from booking backup and another backup hotel which they will end up cancelling at some point.
2) DragonCon is not the only game in town. The whole hotel is not for Dragon Con guests and no matter how many times somebody states that people still don't get it.
3) I understand everyone wants to be helpful BUT if you have a reservation from a hotel or get a direct message from a hotel do not share it with the masses unless you have read the entire thing and understand it completely. Two instances have already popped up this year that pertain to this and twice people have gotten burned with some wanting to be pissed at the hotels.
