Hotels Suck

Once again I'm trying to scramble and get the hotel locked down for the lan event and still have to wait on them to get the contract over.  First it was going to be ready last Wednesday; it wasn't.  Then I was told today at 8am at the latest.  After waiting all day for a call I finally call them and now I'm told I have to wait until sometime tomorrow to look over the contract. 

The worst part is that every time I get a contract from one of these hotels, I still have to take about a week or so of arguing over hidden costs.  You would think that after having an event at this hotel in the past, they would KNOW what my requirements are and send me something ASAP to get the room booked.  Let's face it, our event brings money to a hotel.  We eat, drink, and pee on their carpets so they should rush to sign a group like ours. 

Now I'm just worried people wont have enough time to get all their vacation plans in order.  Every day that goes by is a wasted day of tickets sales and booking flights/hotel rooms.  Lets just prey they have a solid contact ready to sign and hopefully I'll have an announcement ready an on the homepage tomorrow.  Hotels Suck.
