Wow!

I'd heard that the hotel was small, but I had no idea just HOW small it was - I feel like William Shatner at the end of season 2 on original Trek. ^*

Just a suggestion: If there's enough Security available, it would be a great idea to station someone outside the elevator banks on every floor to avoid overloading. And whoever it was who had the idea to require everyone to exit at the top and bottom floors: thank you! "Up to go down" may have been acceptable at the Park Plaza, but it's definitely not an option at the Hyatt.

Looking forward to the next Arisia...and hoping that after that, we'll have a bigger hotel...

PS - One suggestion: since a lot of editions of Clear Ether disappeared kind of quickly, perhaps PDFs could be posted on the Arisia website?

The elevators are being refurbished at the moment; in theory number 4 should have been finished now but was not. By next year they should all be done.

Unfortunately, #4 is the *last* to be done.

No, elevator number 4 was the first to receive major maintenance, leaving us with the worst of both worlds: N-1 elevators all in need of overhaul.

My source was a concomm meeting in the hotel, back when elevator #2 was under renovation. Sorry, the hotel liason was mistaken.

Yes, he was, you are correct. Sorry I got that wrong.

I hope they get more repairs in the next 11 months then.

Just to be clear, there's only one elevator left to be renovated. Hopefully they'll get the bugs out of the other ones.

(That may be what you were saying the discussion is getting confusing.)
