pillow delayinconsistent service
I found some aspects of my stay disappointing. My request for extra pillows seemed to get lost, and it took three phone calls and over an hour for them to arrive. The promised turndown service was also inconsistent. It only happened one night out of my four-night stay. I found this lack of attention to detail surprising for a hotel of this caliber. The basement location of my assigned room was also unsettling.
