I'm going to end up making a call to the City of Waterbury Fire Marshal's office within the next day to report the multiple fire code violations I personally found while in the hotel. Will also be contacting the City of Waterbury Department of Public Health about the dity linens being delivered as well as the food quality issues and such. I'm also in the process of trying to track down a direct telephone number to the Holiday Inn DM's office in an attempt to bypass all those ass-covering customer relation email and phone numbers so that there might actually be something done about what happened. When I get the appropriate numbers I'll be more than happy to throw them up here and on JL for others to call as well.

She asked if there was another large group coming in, and was told yes. A few minutes later the front desk called back -- since I'd made the reservation under the Holiday Inn Priority Club program, they said we could do late checkout after all.

People had to go into the restrooms to get water for folks who were clearing away the stage. Also heard mention of unclean towels being used in some rooms, but I can't confirm that one.
