<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Yes, the convention ran smoothly, but =
the
accommodations were not up to Hyatt standards. The floors in the =
hall were
very dirty, obviously not vacuumed all the way to the walls. Also =
the
carpet in the room was very worn, even a couple of holes, and the same =
dirty
situation. The public areas were very nice, but I couldn't believe =
the
worn condition of the sixth floor. It was supposed to be for Gold =
Passport
members which I have been for many years! I overheard someone else =
echoing
these comments while waiting at the Barbershop concert.</FONT></DIV>

better
than was expected a few weeks ago. The hotel staff was great and I put =

Class numbers was down but all I heard was good comments. One =
complaint was
that We kept it too cold which was a big changed from last year.
