This is just a little topic for all those who have never yet been to Vent Haven but are going this year for the first time.
Among all the good things that we can say about the Marriott, (and they are many), there is just one small thing that we would like to warn you about.
Just about every one who goes will at some point in the ConVENTion need to get a little (or a lot) of cash.
Marriott does in fact have an ATM in the Lobby. That is where the good stops. In all the years that we have been at the Marriott, we have never known the ATM to function like you would expect a real ATM to work.
We have known several people to take as much as 3 days to get as little as $200.00 out of the machine. It can be a very frustrating experience. For those of you fortunate enough to have a car with you, it is not that big a problem to run out somewhere else and get some cash. If you flew in and have no transportation. . . ouch!
The point is that even if you end up not needing extra cash. . . we recommend having some with you before you arrive just to avoid the unwanted headaches once you are there.
Aside from this one thing, come prepared to have the time of your year at VHC. We are getting so excited and this 40th year is going to be the best so far.
We will talk again next week,
Steve and JET
I had some experience with that ATM and can confirm this as fact. I had to run to the bank and get cash.
