Anaheim Marriott Stay over Labor day weekend (and DL Half Marathon)

Hi,

I stayed at the Anaheim marriott Fri-Mon of the labor day weekend as I was running the half marathon on sunday. I had booked a concierge level room.
Check in on Friday was quick and was given room 1739 ( end of corridor room facing east). Room was large and comfortable. The elevators use a key pad in the lobby where you enter your desired floor and the lift assigns you a lift (A-F)

On saturday morning the conciege lounge (18th floor ) was MOBBED with hardly a place to sit. The staff tried their best to keep the food restocked. ( runners had come back from the 10k and there was also a religious convention on at the conventin centre)

Later on at the pool which is nice , after a while we had to evacuate the pool (about 3pm) area due to a "code brown" incident ( someone had apparently p**ped in the pool and needed to be cleaned. From talking to people later the pool was still closed in the evening.

After running the half marathon on sunday I went back to the lounge where an agent was outside the door chekcing your room number off against a list ( apparently on saturday people had been inviting other friends/colleagues into the lounge when they would not have had access normally which accounted for the crazy scenes)
Breakfast was good with a good selection of food (no froot loops though) and scrambled eggs bacon and sausages.
Evening snacks were fine.
There is a pizza hut shop at the lobby level ( was open at weekends but closed Monday-Wed)
I was given a late check out of 1pm with no problem and got the 129pm Disneyland express back to LAX.
Overall a good stay despite some issues ( beyond the hotel's control)

Regards

TBS
