Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
There was a party in the lobby that was extremely loud. It was literally shaking the objects in my room. The party went until 11pm. I called the front desk asking for another room and there was nothing available. I just simply can’t understand having a party like that with complete disregard for the schedule of the guests. I had to leave at 430am the next day and was unable to sleep until after 11pm. I couldn’t imagine being a parent with young children or something and being disregarded like that. I think the hotel I’d poorly designed and the staff I’d thoughtless. Maybe give the party goers the rooms over the party? I won’t be returning to that hotel.

Understaffed
This is a nice hotel, but it was very understaffed. The bistro/ bar was closed the first night because an employee didn’t show up for work; which was a major inconvenience with 4 children to feed.

My Birthday was that Saturday!!!
The stay was great at the Hotel and good location. Except the rug in our room had a stain that was noticeable and the Iron was missing. I did contact room service people and went downstairs to let front desk know about the iron and the stain in the rug. We did get and iron and no service for that stain in the rug. Other than that everything was good.

Terrible check-in experience, Reached on time , when I waited on the queue with my family including 2 kids, and tried to check-in around 4:45PM, the front desk staff didn't greet me instead she directly said you have to wait for sometime in the lobby to check in ( no polite just ordered me ) , I waited for sometime but the people before me or after me they all got checked in w/o any problem, then I had to ask again and she finally able to check-in. Never faced this kind of experience anywhere else.
