| - I am presently snowed in, sitting with my team from work in the lobby at the Homewood... and I feel like it's imperative that I make a posting about how accommodating and fabulous the staff here has been during this southern Snowpocalypse!
Last evening, this place was booked solid... and not a single restaurant or shop open in a reasonable (read: walkable in blizzard conditions) radius. The team here at Homewood turned their evening Manager's Reception (typically wine, beer, and light bites) into full-scale dinner for everybody - they went off-menu and cooked up whatever was quick and on hand, and made sure that glasses remained filled all around.
This morning, breakfast was hoppin', but they swiftly replenished anything that ran low and swept away used plates and glasses at the speed of light. As lunch rolled around, we learned that the Hilton Garden Inn across the way (which has a restaurant and we thought would be our saving grace) would not open until dinner time, but the staff came to the rescue, finding the ONLY restaurant open (and would deliver!!!), helping us to place an order, and ensuring we'd survive... at least, until dinner was served. ;-)
Special shout-outs go to Ariel (the man with the plan for lunch) and Zack (who kept beers topped off, set aside a special batch of tortellini for a colleague with a dietary restriction, and even braved the cold to assess the roads for one of us who was debating a drive).
This happens to be the hotel that's closest to our company's local home base... but even if it were a little farther away, we'd still bring back our business to the stellar team here!
