Yeah I agree with you. Thanks for all the info about what went down with Park Plaza etc. I didn't realize that. hehe It was sort of a nice instant Karma for the Park Plaza kicking us out! Fans might be stinky and wearing costumes about, but they are mostly polite and you know what: They always show up! :P
The staff at the hotel are great. It probably has to do with them not being in an ideal location for vacationers and they really need the business. I bet every hotel kind of has a stick up it's but about sci-fi cons. Even with the staff being nicer at the Hyatt, I sort of preferred the art show on a more accessible floor, and I got to say I really miss the dealers room. There's something about walking into that huge room of stuff. :P I don't really come to the con to be pampered in a hotel - I come for the activities the con has. I'm sure other people feel very differently about it though. Of course I would LOVE to have both. Being treated well by the hotel is a very nice thing, I'm just weighing out that con activities on the main floor is more appealing to me. :) I'm be pretty happy if we moved back to Park Plaza. I loved that huge mezzanine space! I also loved that we were REALLY in Boston and things were all around you at the hotel with easy access. hehe Oh and I could get Dunkin Donuts down the street instead of being fed Starbucks :P I would miss some things about the Hyatt too, like the nice staff and the open center area down the middle of the hotel with the balconies. That is a pretty little hotel. heh! In both senses!
