But get stuck in a Crowne Plaza room WITHOUT the instruction card....you're up a creek without a paddle. I just gave up in LGA one night.
In my experience:
20% of wakeup calls either never happen or are so tardy as to be useless.
10% of the time the alarm clock fails, most often due to pilot error (volume turned down, am/pm mismatch)
5% of the time the cell phone alarm fails, again most often due to pilot error (time zone issues, am/pm, software glitch)
I've had nights where two forms both failed for whatever reason. Statistically, every 1000 wakeups or so everything will line up and you won't get any wakeup at all, despite setting all 3 forms.
