OK - So I have been working a TON to get ready for this big client meeting in Copenhagen. I just arrived with my partner about an hour ago. Everyone from EY (Heads of worldwide tax practices, etc.) is staying at the same hotel....and I wonder if my "standards" are way too high or if others agree that this is 100% TERRIBLE.
I mean seriously, the first thing I see is there are 2 twin beds pushed together that is a "queen room". Then there is absolutely no tempature control system....only a little heater that is worse then the one in our flat in London - ick. So my air con. for the night is the window opened listening to the garbage man. Those are the 2 worst...
But I call downstairs and ask for
1) Clock
2) Iron
For the clock, the lady said "No, turn on the TV" - seriously?! No clock
For the Iron, she said you can come downstairs and borrow ours....borrow one...ok so what I iron in the lobby?
To add to the list there is
No Closet (at all)
No drawers
No bath (tiny shower)
No lock on outside door (I feel safe)
And a gazillion others things!!!!
So, I'm not sure if I somehow got ridiuclously high standards by traveling all the time in the audit group or if this place truly is terrible. Oh, and guess how much it is?? Yep - $300/night¬! This city = not cheap prices.
Wish me luck on the 3 nights here - yikes!

I've stayed in Copenhagen on several occasions for business. I must say the hotels were some of the nicest in the world and nothing like what you describe. Sounds like E&Y was hosed by the travel agent or is on the brink (pick your poison). You should make up for the crappy hotel by spending liberally on the corporate card for meals.
