| - I visited the Hilton on Airport Road for the first time. For years, I drove past it going to work. My workplace is no longer across from the hotel, but it is still in Mississauga. This year, the company had its Christmas lunch at the Hilton.
We had specific instructions about parking. The hotel has cameras that scan your vehicle's front and back plates. You can then proceed to drive in and park. Once you enter the hotel, you need to remember to register your car's licence plate at one of the kiosks, so that you can exit the parking lot.
I had a fun time at the party. The coat check went smoothly. The woman was friendly. We also had appetizers. I loved the vegetarian rice rolls with vermicelli and mint. The chicken skewers were yummy, too. I got a glass of pinot noir. Yum!
Lunch was buffet-style. The food was delicious. I loved the roast beef, green beans (my fav!), and the desserts were decadent. I love lemons that are tart. Both the lemon mousse parfait and lemon bar were perfect! The chocolate and raspberry log cake was perfectly done. Unfortunately, a couple of guys in front of me hacked at it to death, so it wasn't exactly a log by the time I got there.
The servers were amazing. My manager spilled my colleague's water on the table by accident. I felt like I was at Wimbledon. The server came in with a couple of cloth napkins and stopped the water flood. He then got my colleague another glass of water.
The blue LED candle was a beautiful centrepiece. It was a nice touch.
Normally, when you leave the parking lot, each car is scanned and a check is done to determine whether the system finds you as a registered parking guest. Since there were so many of us, a hotel person had the gate raised permanently for us. I waved to him. It helped the mass exodus.
I can't speak about being a hotel guest in a room. If the customer service is this great, I need to give staying her a try should I need to.
