This was all back in 04 so I don't know how long it went for.

They still had it in 07

Just do what I did when I had that sim block...go downstairs, eat the free snacks, then take a couple of beers to go. Put them on ice in your room and enjoy at 0230 when you return to your hotel.

Announced to employees today. Not really a big deal, just another short term fill in job.

i was there but mid-late 06. The hampton inn beat the holiday inn hands down but there wasnt a whole lot to do there. I had that late sim as well but we somehow managed to get done and back to the hotel most nights by 12 or 1230.
