CaptRenault... hahaha, yea that scenario might get questioned by the fellow employees! LOL! We get rates at specific hotels in Halifax, QC, Montreal, TO and Vancouver. In Montreal this year, our rated hotels are Le St. Martin, Sofitel, Omni, and Crystal. Sofitel cannot accomodate this meet for us. Crystal and Le St. Martin are off my list due to key card or meet in the lobby! So the Omni it is. The other two I asked about was for curiosity, in case I stay longer after our meet.
Patron... Was in Barcelona July 15- 21 this year. Stayed on La Ramblas, at the Hotel Montecarlo. Fairly large hotel. In actual fact I was not allowed to have a guest in the room at this hotel. If i wanted to have a guest, it was to be in the main lobby meeting room... it was a nice room, but receiving BBBJ in there would def cause concern! LOL... just played the tourist role during that trip! It was wierd too, because there was always someone at the main door and the elevator. I mean always! But there are quite a few street hookers near the port on La Ramblas, so that may be the reason there! But the Montecarlo was closer to Catalunya square, away from the port.... so !?!?!?
A few hotels in Sydney, I had to register guests.. very swank hotels! May just have been part of the swank as opposed to precaution! Stayed at Harrah's before and was given a hard time bringing a business associate to the room.... where i actually told them to wait in the lobby, as it was seriously a thumb drive exchange! Also was given a bit of hassle at the Venetian in Vegas, nothing serious, but enough to draw attention from the crowds near by. In New York I have'nt stayed in the square... good to know, but I never did have an issue in New York!
Omni it is for this trip!
