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!
