In the summer of 1980 my family was scheduled to fly to the UK for a vacation/see family etc. The flight was supposed to go at night, we got to the airport and only then did they tell us the flight was delayed until the next morning. We headed home and showed up the next morning and they had 'just found out' that the plane was delayed until the evening (now 24 hour delay).
They put us up in a hotel for the daytime and it was the Constellation. Even then it was a tired hotel.
