Club-style line-up, complete with bouncer, outside The Drake Hotel
It's Saturday night, and the line-up up of expectant and slightly inebriated party-goers stretches down the block. I was there to attend a Prince tribute in the Drake's designated event space, the Underground, but the main floor Dining Room was standing/dancing/drinking-shots room only, and I imagine the Sky Yard (a second floor outdoor patio overlooking Queen Street) was equally packed, considering the fine weather.
May-be not what some of the hotel guests staying there expected.

The scene certainly lends validity to concerns of residents in Prince Edward County, where Drake owner Jeff Stober is opening a remodelled and renovated century old inn: The Drake Devonshire.
Bottom line for someone in my position is to know my client's expectations, the demographics of the group, and the goals and objectives of their meeting - as well as the overall "culture" of a prospective hotel, beyond its guestroom amenties and meeting room specs.
