Just home this evening to a non working downstairs heat unit
so I'll be brief. Arrived at AS Sports on January 1st, booked a standard rooms with AAA for total of something like $74 tax included. We were placed in Touchdown, Bldg 10 I think, the closest one to the main buliding and food court, so maybe that was an upgrade. Room was okay, not a full line of toiletries, we were given one bar of face soap and a bottle of shampoo, that was it, maybe that's value toiletries though.
Room was at the end closest to Stadium Hall, 1st floor, quiet location, no complaints. Beds were actually better than our YC ones. One question, what's up with the guard at the gate, absolute crab, demanded picture ID and glared at us e very time we went in and out.
We slept pretty good, loaded up and headed over to the YC around 9AM to get our tickets and meal plan started. Stopped at the gate, gave the cheerful guard our name, he handed DH the car pass and directed us to the entrance. We have stayed at YC before so we didn't pay much attention to the car pass. Jeff dropped me at the door and said he was going to park. I went in and got in line to check in. A few minutes later Kelly came in and said Dad decided to jsut stay out front rather than park. We stood for a few minutes and she went back out to get my jacket from the car. She walks back in a few minutes later with two CMs, they come up to me and pull me from line. At this point I've no idea what is going on, they're calling me by name and asking about our drive down. They ask Kelly to go get her her Dad and sister from the car. I'm really flabbergasted at this point, I mean, hey, I lost my place in check in line, you know? Well, the family comes in, DH has that Deer in the Headlights look. THey proced to tell us we won a "small dream", upgrade to Concierge floor. Take the keys from DH and sent the car off to valet, walk us upstairs, check us in and escort us to room 5228, which miraculously was ready at 9:30 AM. Showed the girls to the lounge and fed them doughnuts, had us all settled by 10:30. Really nice for January 2, especially after I had stood in the marathon line at AS Sports the previous afternoon,
. I'll post more about our CL experiences later, right now I'm freezing!
