OK. I wish you would have written this in your initial post, when you used the word "made" it made it seem like they forced you to do something against your will or strong armed you into doing something.
If there are no taxis at a major downtown hotel, that is another clue something is wrong. Taxi's generally know when a place is dead and the renovation must be big if taxis aren't waiting for fares.
