[ST] Elevator Suggestion Submitted With Minimal Comment

David touched on an important point: "I have a membership to the con, 
and I have a reservation at the hotel. At what point does hotel 
infrastructure get involved in the fee structure?"

Signs that point out the stairs should be neutral and unambiguous, 
without suggestion that there's any kind of favouritism. Perhaps have 
the fairly universal graphic of a figure on a flight of stairs with an 
arrow. English isn't everyone's first language: some people speak 
Klingon.

Lines for the elevators will weed out the people who want to walk v. 
those who want to wait better than any resource the con could bring to 
bear.

By adolescence, functionally all of us have walked up and down enough 
stairs to know what kind of strain it puts on our bodies.

This isn't rocket science: it's a sign that says "Stairs? That way!"
