Lobbyist

Although I've never even been inside a room at what's currently the Marriott hotel downtown, it's one of the most important sites of my so-called professional life. The vast majority of my employers have been based out of town; many of them choose to stay at this location when they visit Kansas City. More often than not, I begin and end my meetings with my contacts in this informal lobby lounge. I wonder if things would have gone better if I'd suggested Hotel Phillips?
