1/5 Sisi Y. 4 months ago on Google
There
were
two
managers
(or
hosts?)
I
encountered,
one
who
was
extremely
skilled
with
customer
service,
and
one
who
was
not.
I
will
call
them
Person1
(skilled)
and
Person2
(not
so
skilled).
The
PROS:
-
Walking
distance
to
my
work
-
Great
neighborhood,
as
I
used
to
live
in
the
area
-
Very
friendly
front
desk
staff
-
Very
Reasonable
room
rates
-
Very
Reasonable
valet
parking
rates
The
CONS:
1.
1
Hour
Late
Check:
Our
room
was
1
hour
late
from
check
in
time
because
the
staff
had
to
clean
up
extra
from
the
previous
guest.
That
was
fine
with
me,
I
was
okay
to
wait.
Person1
was
extremely
compassionate
and
offered
us
a
$75
voucher
for
the
bar
or
Smyth
Tavern.
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
and
appreciative.
3
of
my
friends
came
to
meet
me
at
the
hotel
(as
I
was
expecting
to
be
ready
to
head
out
for
dinner
by
then),
and
I
asked
Person2
(Person1
had
stepped
away)
if
we
could
grab
$75
worth
of
drinks
at
the
Tavern
while
we
waited
for
the
room.
Person2
said
"No,
there
are
too
many
of
you,
plus
your
friends
are
not
guests
of
the
hotel.
We
can
give
you
a
glass
of
champagne
each
instead."
I
completely
understood
we
weren't
entitled
to
anything
at
all,
so
I
said
"Okay
thank
you."
But
I
still
don't
understand
why
Person2
was
so
exasperated,
as
I
knew
the
comp
was
limited
to
$75.
Even
if
it
went
above
$75,
they
could
have
charged
the
extra
to
my
room.
Instead
the
group
of
us
had
to
stand
awkwardly
at
the
front
desk
while
this
strange
exchange
happened...
2.
Dirty
Room:
The
trash
from
the
previous
guest
was
not
emptied,
and
was
filled
over
the
brim.
The
corner
of
the
closet
door
was
broken
off,
and
there
was
a
strange
brown
streak
on
the
wall
of
the
bathroom.
3.
Malfunctioning
Bedroom
door:
We
stayed
in
a
suite
where
there
was
a
bedroom
door.
When
my
husband
shut
the
door
to
the
bedroom
from
the
outside,
we
were
locked
out
of
the
bedroom.
We
went
to
the
front
desk
and
they
called
the
hotel
"engineer"
(similar
to
a
super?)
to
fix
it.
He
did
a
great
job,
and
we
were
thankful.
4.
$1100+
bill
from
the
Hotel
(!!):
After
we
checked
out,
I
was
extremely
dissatisfied
and
confused
to
receive
a
bill
for
$1100+.
I
called
the
Hotel
and
thankfully
Person1
answered.
He
apologized
for
all
of
the
inconveniences
I
experienced,
and
corrected
the
mistaken
charges
to
$300+
(which
was
accurate
for
parking
and
hotel
fees).
He
even
took
off
one
of
the
fees
because
of
the
trash
that
was
not
emptied
from
the
previous
guest.
I
was
extremely
grateful
for
the
ease
of
this
conversation.
5.
The
$65
straw
that
broke
the
camel's
back:
2+
weeks
later,
I
received
yet
another
charge
on
my
card
for
$65
from
the
hotel.
My
stay
was
already
over
3
weeks
ago.
This
is
why
I
am
writing
this
review,
this
is
completely
unacceptable
and
borderline-fraudulent
behavior
from
whoever
is
approving
and
executing
these
charges
at
the
hotel.
No
matter
how
convenient
and
great
the
location,
how
great
SOME
of
the
staff
are,
I
will
never
stay
at
this
hotel
again.
