Wow! I just came in to agree with you about the hideous elevator decor and extend my sympathies for your ordeal. (I was at Blissdom, but didn’t get the chance to meet you!) But, um, that’s some “apology” letter. I wish we were in person, so I could actually use finger quotes on that apology. What a crazy mess!

Most of all, I’m glad you all are okay!!

What I don’t understand is if the night manager was so busy why they couldn’t send some representative of the hotel to the lobby. Glad you all were okay-I will have to check my bank statement to see if they credited us, if they do I will let you know!

This is some funny stuff, right here? Even funnier is when an anon commenter comes in to try to judge too! Anon, thanks for getting me to laugh at that because I LURVE me some cryptic anon comments fo shizzle!!!

And, let’s be honest – the traffic u all are getting from this elevator debacle has to be worth more than the $50 credit, right? So, it’s a nice gesture and all but the material you are coming up w/ is so much better Although, I’m still very glad I wasn’t in the ” red fur coated death chamber of hell/tanning bed” because it did remind me of a place where @Room704 might be filming soon..just sayin’!

As a fan of personal responsibility, how about leaving your name there Anon? Oh that’s right it’s so much easier to be judge and jury when your name isn’t on the line. Bitchiness is such a treat at the hands of the nameless, faceless stranger.

Just an FYI since you’ve shown such concern, we were told by the front desk at the hotel that emergency services had been called, as such, no one attempted a second call to 911, what with being assured it had already happened. To our surprise the emergency services they were referring to emergency elevator services. My bad for not having a crystal ball to understand their true meaning.

I can’t even remember how I found out about this little debacle, through StumbleUpon or some such. As an outside party, I can’t help but comment. If there were panic attacks and a pregnant woman and all this going on, why didn’t one of YOU call 911? Oh, right, you would have had to stop twittering.

Personal responsibility takes another step toward the grave.

I’m actually almost more put off by the “apology” than I was by hearing that no one from the staff was there when you exited. I believe the sign was posted not to exceed an maximum # of lbs (which would be hard to do without each person carrying a largish farm animal) not a certain number of individuals. Seriously Steve, next time just say “we are very very sorry, our bad, and here is $50 to hopefully make it up to you”. That will go over much better.

Anywhoo, we didn’t meet but I saw you around – howdy. I’m from Ohio too so I always feel drawn to the other Ohioans floating around conferences…but now dwell in Nashvegas.

OK this Steve dude really needs to take a customer service class. The complaint isn’t about the elevator getting stuck, it’s about the way you all were treated and the lack of communication WHILE you were stuck AND the fact that nobody from the hotel could be bothered to be there when the doors opened to make sure everyone was OK. They suck!

Sorry that happened to you guys!
