1/5 Mark P. 2 years ago on Google
I
first
stayed
here
in
July
last
year
and
had
a
great
time.
I
came
back
in
January
and
it
was
a
completely
different
experience.
I
stayed
across
the
street
in
179.
This
time,
I
stayed
at
180.
And
I
am
so
sorry
that
I
chose
this
place.
From
check-in
to
the
moment
that
I
wrote
this
review,
guest
services
lacked
any
sort
of
passion.
There
is
no
“sazon.”
Everyone
has
seemed
disinterested
in
a
positive
guest
experience.
There
is
a
ton
of
staff
and
they
just
seem
plod
along
doing
as
little
work
as
possible.
I
stepped
out
of
the
taxi
yesterday
afternoon
with
my
family.
My
driver
had
to
remove
all
of
my
bags
from
the
trunk.
Meanwhile,
the
overweight
bellhop
was
watching
us
and
yapping
with
his
other
two
buddies,
I
had
to
ask
him
for
“el
botones”
before
he
cared
to
stop
the
conversation.
I
booked
through
Expedia.
Apparently,
that
means
if
you
book
and
pay
for
a
certain
type
of
room,
the
management
here
will
not
give
you
the
room
shown
on
the
Expedia
website.
In
my
case,
I
paid
for
a
room
with
an
ocean
view.
Instead,
I
got
a
view
of
the
pool
across
the
street
at
179
with
a
lot
of
fat
tourists
wearing
inappropriate
speedos
and
construction.
Because
there
is
an
ocean
somewhere
behind
the
pool
view
of
the
179,
management
will
try
and
scam
you
into
thinking
that
it’s
an
ocean
view.
Basically,
it’s
a
stretch
as
evidenced
by
the
pictures
attached.
They
try
to
upsell
for
$1k
another
room
that
would
have
basically
been
what
I
had
originally
paid
for.
I
said
no.
Expedia
tried
their
best.
First,
they
got
some
lady
named
Clara
to
promise
to
change
the
room
out
free
of
charge
on
Monday.
Second,
Clara
at
Pinnacles
changed
her
mind
and
said
no.
So,
Expedia
tried
to
find
me
another
hotel
to
stay
with
the
promised
room.
They
agreed
that
Pinnacles
had
pulled
a
bait
and
switch
with
the
construction
view
room
versus
the
ocean
view.
They
committed
to
an
email
that
clearly
states
that
Pinnacles
isn’t
honoring
the
reservation.
After
an
hour
on
the
phone
trying
to
find
another
hotel,
we
gave
up.
It’s
high
season
and
it’s
impossible
to
find
a
two-bedroom
suite
in
the
immediate
area.
Makes
sense
since
I
booked
this
trip
6
months
ago.
Expedia
and
I
finally
agreed
on
future
coupon
deductions
to
settle
us
through
this
mess.
Hours
later,
Pinnacles
reaches
out
again
after
displaying
further
bipolar
behavior.
They
offered
to
move
me
to
another
property
down
the
street
for
$300
more.
I
said
no
and
told
them
how
disappointed
I
was
with
the
customer
experience.
You
have
5
people
working
the
front
desk
and
no
one
appears
to
be
helping
the
guests.
When
I
tried
to
speak
to
someone
about
1)
how
mildewy
the
room
was
and
2)
how
it
was
of
a
construction
site
instead
of
an
ocean
view-suddenly,
I
had
two
women
physically
talking
at
me
like
we
were
in
a
high
school
debate
set
up
or
an
MLM
scheme.
When
you
ask
a
bellhop
where
to
get
beach
towels,
he
tells
you
to
get
them
yourself
from
the
front
desk.
Overall,
there
is
no
passion
here
for
guest
experience.
Instead,
every
encounter
with
staff
is
an
opportunity
to
upsell
you
or
just
simply
let
you
down.
Back
home,
these
types
of
personalities
end
up
working
for
the
DMV.
Here
in
Mexico,
they
seem
to
congregate
as
employees
in
wannabe
chic
hotels
that
have
lost
their
social
standing
as
quickly
as
Ghislane
Maxwell.
