Not recommended for business travel.
The good: the room was reasonably comfy, clean, with typical amenities. Reasonably quiet.
The bad: had a reservation and arrived for check in at 5 pm. Exhausted and needed to work before dinner. No rooms available (?!) and had to wait. The lobby is small, cold and uncomfortable, nowhere to sit with phone plugged in. Restaurant closed on Monday. While I waited they checked 2 people in ahead of me. Annoying but whatever they finally check me in. I go
To room on 3rd floor and oh great neither room key works &$@#. Back down to get new keys right as the front desk is handing my work colleague her key-for the same room. OMFG. But I am strong, I am patient, I’m not a Karen. So they give me a new room and finally get settled.
After a long work day on day 2 i get home and no housekeeping was done. Whatever, I’m strong, I’m patient, I crashed out. Day 3 in the am I realize this means I have no coffee. But I am strong, I’m patient. I’m not a Karen, I run off to work with no coffee.
In the evening I get more coffee from the front desk, “all I had to do was ask”. Well all you had to do was tell me, but I just think that and don’t say it - I’m not a Karen!
Day 4 am I have coffee, yay, but forgot no housekeeping means my bathroom floor is now full of wet towels and only small dry ones left after the shower. I guess this is my bad? I should have planned ahead…just not used to this for business travel.
A crazy day at work, the. In the evening I have a great meal of mussels in a garlicky sauce and just a few too many cocktails. This will matter for the next part.
After a 6am work call in the room with a headache, i have a dry and gross garlicky mouth. Go to take a shower. Oh crap I FORGOT ABOUT THE TOWELS. I dry off with a wash cloth.
Go to brush my teeth oh crap I AM OUT OF TOOTHPASTE. I’m not feeling strong right now. I am a little crabby, not at my best.
I go down to the little shop next to reception. No toothpaste there. So I go to reception to request some, there is a long line of people checking in or out. I am not one to cut in line, but for a possibly quick request, it’s okay to ask, right? I thought so. I politely ask and this rude b*** cuts me off before I can finish “I am helping this customer you will have to wait in line”. I am now broken. I am still strong but I am not patient and she may have just made me a Karen. I dont demand to see the manager, there may still be hope for me. But I do say somewhat loudly “the service here is terrible”. There, that got her! “Thank you have a nice day” the b*** says with snidely. OMG that pissed me off more than anything which was obviously her goal.
I am now late and run to my room grab my crap and go to meet my colleagues with nasty garlic hangover breath breath. I go back to my room after breakfast and there are other workers at reception (in addition to the b***) so I ask the other ones for toothpaste….
And this b****…this b**** she immediately reaches inder the counter and hands me toothpaste. Like…it was right there the whole time? And you wanted me to wait in line for this?
I became a Karen today. “So it was right there and you wanted me to wait in line? You need to learn what triage means and how to do it. You could have just handed it to me”.
The b**** omg this freaking b****. “I know what triage means and I needed to take care of the other customers first”.
“You may know what triage means but you choose not to do it since you could have just handed it to me”.
“Thanks for the suggestion, HAVE A NICE DAY!!!”.
Hey, b**** this 1 star review for your understaffed overpriced zero service hotel with the gross green pool is for you. Have a nice day!
