If you can find it.
You enter from the street to drive past a sign with lots of arrows. At the top, in multicolor letters, is the "Children's Hospital." OK, so I want the adult hospital, so I go look for the next sign...
Next is Emergency, but there the sign also has Children's Hospital on top. So I'm still not there yet.
I see some outdoor parking, whatever it is for, but there's a big red sign that says "Lot Full." OK, so much for that.
Next thing I know, I'm back out on the street. And it takes quite a detour to get back to the Hospital again.
This time, entering from the other entrance/exit, it's that same old sign. But looking harder I see two visitor parking arrows, pointing in both directions. So I turn towards the open parking lot I saw before, which I can now see has plenty of open spots, the "Lot Full" sign not apparently being accurate. Actually, I saw someone else turning in there before realizing that.
I park my car and head for the fanciest looking enormous building, next to the mass parking building the other arrow pointed to.
I get into the General Entrance, I just figured that's what it was because it was a big entrance with lobby on the inside visible through the glass. There were no signs, arrows, anything.
I go up to the Information Desk, which did have a big sign that said Information Desk. The website said you could find your Friends room location by asking at the Information Desk. There was nobody there. There was no kiosk, or sign either, or literature, just a large round empty desk with room for about 8 people, but nobody there, and nothing else either, except for the big Information Desk sign.
Fortunately my friend had texted me here room number. So I took the elevator that was near the empty Information Desk. I didn't know if it was the correct one. The elevator I took said "South Tower" but my friend had only texted "Tower" in addition to the room number.
Exit the elevator and enter a long long hall. I notice the numbers are getting smaller going in one direction, and my friend's number is smaller, so I head that direction.
After awhile I notice the number aren't getting smaller very fast, and are mixed with larger numbers on the other side of the hallway, getting larger.
By the time I nearly reach one end of the long long hall, the numers have only fallen about 1/2 the amount they needed to. But there was a person, so I asked them. "Oh, you have to go to the end of the hallway," pointing back the way I came, "and then take the first door on the left."
So I walk all the way back from where I started, and more, and entered the door, and there was another hallway.
But here I finally notice some room numbering signs pointing in directions. So this time I go the correct direction, and finally find the correct room.
