I think it was thursday morning or something, I went downstairs and sat down b/c we were gonna be leaving in a minute. The lady sitting behind me was talking to the people at the hotel. Apparently, her elevator had malfunctioned, and while I couldnt get the whole story, apparently she got on the elevator, pushed the button, and it moved to the target floor without the door every closing. Also, it stopped about 5 inches above the floor.

Other than that interesting story, I felt that the hyatt was an ok place to stay. We didnt get nearly as much fun in as we had planned b/c of team decisions to go out to eat and such, and team rules about leaving the hotel, but I think it was an alright hotel. Did anyone go up to the spindletop restaurant? Jeez, If our team didnt go out to eat, I probably would have eaten there. It was an insane view.

I was also pissed about the lack of bathrobes...or many other amenities that we had enjoyed at the embassy suites in chicago. Outside aesthetics were awesome, but the rooms were average. It wasnt really cool when we had to pack about 9 people in our room friday night to decide who to pick the next morning, only to have our VCR not work with our tape of the competition, but thats not really the hotels fault. I do wish the pool had been open, it would have been fun to swim, and the only other teams I really talked to at the hyatt were 75 and 128.
