Yes, management HAS been a problem. There was one guy in 2009 that kept yelling at people to move their cars LOADED down with luggage, as we were all trying to check in. "YOU DON'T GET OUT THERE NOW, AND I'M HAVING EVERYBODY TOWED!" A few people we knew, nearly got into an altercation with this guy, until someone above him finally came over and reprimanded his ass.
The bellhops have been a problem in the past as well -_-. Now, well and true, we have had some GREAT Marriott/other hotel staffers. One guy in particular, who is still working at the Marriott, was a GREAT crowd traffic controller. We were taking group photos on one of the levels, back in '08, and he made himself our crowd controller. We were right at the bottom of one of the elevators, and people kept stopping to get pictures. He would make everyone stop, take a picture and kept the flow moving. He was cordial, nice and appreciated the experience.
Then there's the bad side. And you'll always have the bad side. Some of the garage car parkers hit on my friend and her girlfriend and propositioned her for sex. Last year, as we were going to our room on Thursday, some whore of a girl was on the railing ledge, with a school girl skirt on WITH NO UNDERWEAR, at 11am in the morning, yelling "CAN YOU SEE MY VAGINA??" Instead of telling the girl to get off the railing for her safety, the bell hop stopped and took a picture with his camera phone. Some of the management tried to really berate a few friends and I, as we sat down on one of the room levels to talk and swap stories, on Sunday night of the con. They proceeded to forcefully move up and were exceedingly rude to one of our older friends who has a cane and can't walk very far. They told her to hurry the hell up and move. She's in her 50's with a bum leg! Have a little sympathy! It wasn't as if we were being overly loud, or causing havoc, we were merely eating some food and talking. We were basically being drowned out by the crowds below anyway.
Disgusting. That kind of crap is unprofessional and disgusting.
