And as I said on another thread. HVAC systems are not designed to cool an overtaxed human room of 98.6 degree people when the outside ambient temperature goes above 95.
Trump owes this hotel an apology, but wish the hotel would sue him instead. Give the AH a taste of his own medicine.
Well, people are 98.6 degrees everywhere, so that really shouldn't enter into the equation. I've been in some places where the HVAC system either malfunctioned or couldn't keep up, and it's always the hotel apologizing, never the guests for complaining.
This hotel is in Roanoke, Va. It gets hot as hell there sometimes. I've been to very large events in other very hot places -- Miami, Vegas, etc. -- and they have managed to keep very large rooms cool despite the heat outside. You can do it if you put enough power/money into the system.
I suspect that what the hotel is more likely upset about is not the possibility that he won't pay -- it's the bad publicity that attendees were hot and uncomfortable in their main ballroom. That kind of thing matters to convention planners, and that appears to be true. The hotel did not deny that it was hot/uncomfortable. It basically admitted that their system was overtaxed, but that's still
their responsibility.
