Don't rent their conference rooms
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/5/08
I made the mistake of renting one of their conference rooms for a 2-day company event. I signed faxed copies of the preliminary paperwork and waited for the final contract to arrive. Weeks went by in which I repeatedly attempted to have the sales staff fax the final paperwork. I got the run around until 2 days before the event was to occur. (This was a little nerve wracking considering that the flyers had already gone out advertising the Inn at Gallup as the meeting place). Once we arrived, I realized that they had switched us out into a much smaller room than I had originally signed up for and no-one could tell me the final word on how many catered meals would be available at lunchtime. I mentioned all of this to the manager whose only response was to direct me back to the unresponsive sales person who later approached me with some hostility. She promised that although we would not be moved into the appropriately sized room, she would work to re-arrange our cramped room to our original specifications for the following day. We came back the following day to find that nothing had changed. We made the cramped room work but overall, it was not an experience that I care to repeat.
