A friend and I check into the Sunset Marquis in LA a few hours ago. The guy at the desk says "Ms Scheinberg, welcome back!" and is so thrilled to tell me that they've upgraded our room

I panic

"Wait, I know this sounds nuts, but can we see the upgraded room first?"

The front desk people trade looks

"I'm sorry, it's just that the room I reserved has a table perfect for building jigsaw puzzles and I want to make sure that the upgraded room has an appropriate table..."

The lovely upgraded suite did *not* have a suitable table, and we hemmed and hawed about keeping our original room. We finally said we'd take the upgrade and ten minutes later there's a knock on the door. They brought us a banquet table

I can only imagine the note they put in my file

Very excited to see @ericmead at The Magic Castle tomorrow evening

@kims @ericmead A good hotel can take a lot of your shoulders when traveling .

I spend 50-100 nights per year in hotels and I never let other people book a hotel for me because I tend to choose (if possible) extremely carefully.
