Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Priya from room service was great. Almost everyone else didn’t really care. We could not get the bed lights off at 3 am. The night manager, who was unable to turn them off, was outright rude. I ended up having to cover the lights with towels so that we could get to sleep. They fixed it the next day. Then the internet went out and two technicians were in the room for more than an hour. Many staff members asked how was our stay but gave us a “Sorry “ at most. Only when we checked out the day manager gave us two nights free parking. Far from adequate compensation for such an expensive hotel.
