8. Also, anytime there is an event like a wedding, you do have to deal with the crowds in the elevators, and they tend to be large, loud, and not so understanding about the fact that this is actually a working, open hotel, and some people are just on their way home from a busy day of meetings and want to get upstairs and into bed.
