location, location, location....
We got up at some ungodly hour to catch a 6:20 flight to Orlando for IzeaFest! The first flight was awesome, first class, not very many people and we won't even discuss the connecting flight 
It cost $45, with tip, for a 10 mile taxi ride to the hotel - Marriott Renaissance at Sea World in Orlando. When I arrive to check-in the guest services attendant looked at me, after pulling up my reservation, and asks/states "You requested a room with a pool view" and I replied "No. I requested a King room".
He says "We have no King Rooms open." I replied "Ok, then can I have a free room upgrade?"
Well, to make a long story short, I did not get an upgrade. I did get a King room BUT it is right across from a talking, beeping elevator which we can hear from the other side of the room. We're going to be here for six nights and this is not my idea of a good night's sleep. I am not very pleased with customer service here. I even went to the front desk and requested a fan so it would help drown out the noise. Nada.
On the other hand the room itself is more than I expected. Quite spacious! The view sucks but I don't really care about that. The lobby is huge and has 60" flat screens in several locations. While I have been down here, I have seen at least six different people cleaning. I think there are only two other guests in the lobby right now and I can't see either. With all the space you still get a cozy feeling
Tomorrow I hope to be moved to a room that is not in front of the talking, beeping elevator and still has a King bed. Wish me luck!
