Plaza Hotel is not ready to open. please close it.

I called the Plaza Hotel on 5/15/2008 at 11:55 PM to check if they had any rooms for one of our guests. I expected a PBX operator to answer the phone and then I would asked to be transferred to the Front Office. However, I go a recorded message saying:
“ all of our agents are busy, please stay on the line for the next available agent. Thank you for your patience”

I waited on line for more than 5 minutes and no one picked up. I listened to all kind of music. I listened all kind of cheesy cheap marketing.
How do you expect me to stay if I even cannot reach someone to make a reservation?
