FWA Post Con

Its hard to sort out what was legitimately wrong with the hotel, maybe hotels in big cities work differently than what I'm used to.
I was disappointed in the lack of refrigerators in the rooms, on the last day I discovered you can rent one from the hotel for 18$ a night but I feel a 4 star hotel should include it with the mid-tier rooms at least.
Like alot of people have noted, the ginormous atrium was nice, but it was also pretty hot. I don't know if this is the fault of the hotel, perhaps it is prohibitively expensive to cool such a big air space, or maybe they had some equipment failures over the weekend. I was on the 23rd floor, by the time I managed to get down to the con floor I would already be sweaty faced and needing to hit the headless lounge to wipe off.
The hotel did do an excellent job providing lots of water stations for us to use, props for that. The headless lounge and dance floor were well AC'ed, that was good.
The food court in the adjacent mall was pretty neat, I liked the variety and discovered that Caribou Coffee > Starbucks all up and down peachtree ave. I didn't like that everything closed down so early
The convention activities I participated in ran smoothly, I enjoyed the variety in the dealers den and artist alley. I defiantly had fun fursuiting but that is usually a given. I got to spend lots of quality time with huskies and catch up with "whorewig" also many beers were split with brosefs.
I was able to enjoy the con but its highly unlikely I will attend it in 2016. Alot of it isn't the fault of the convention, I feel it lays more with Atlanta, I don't want to deal with it again.

The hotel space was quite hot and the rooms (at least our room) somehow felt a bit... clammy? It could have just been the Atlanta humidity, but I swear it either felt muggy or I was freezing my tail of in the guest room with only a few degrees difference on the stat.
