There is definitely no shirt pressing service and I have never seen any ironing board or iron anywhere in the club.

I believe there is a gym/pool facility in the hotel connected to the terminal. You might want to check that out and even consider getting a day room if ironing your clothes is that important.
Good to know, thanks. Perhaps I'll try the age-old -- albeit environmentally unfriendly -- trick of turning up the shower all the way to steam the room and help smooth out the shirt. Or I'll beg the hotel I'm staying at (Westin Book-Cadillac in downtown) to let me check in at 7am or at least use an iron

Good luck with your meeting (or job interview )
Is a day room differently priced than just reserving a one night stay on the website? Is this something to call them directly about?

And no, not an interview. God help me if I were desperate enough to want to live/work permanently in that city. Just a new client/project and it'll be my team's first day out there so I want to make a good impression, even though I'm the lowest ranking member on the team.
