I checked in on the app prior to my arrival and specifically requested not to have a corner or end room towards the hallway because I was traveling alone. The lady who checked me in wasn't fluent in English, and she mentioned that I was one of the first few guests to arrive. Despite my request, my room was at the end of the hallway. I had to go back down and wait in line again, while many guests simply approached the front desk without queuing, and the employees helped whoever approached first.
When it was my turn, she gave me a room on another floor that was in the same spot. I clarified multiple times that it was still a corner room because it had the same number. I don't understand how an internal employee could have such little sense of the layout, even by looking at the screen. She even told me that she would not change it again for me, so I had to seek help from another employee.
They had to downgrade my room after I waited two hours to eventually get a non-corner room. Mark was the one who eventually helped me out.
I called housekeeping to ask for a pair of slippers and a toothbrush, but I never received them in three days.
At 6 AM the 2nd morning, there was a very loud noise. I sent a message on the app to have the hotel check what was going on because I was worried someone might be in a fight or having emotional distress. The hotel responded at 10 AM, saying they would check.
The staff in the restaurant were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and quick, and the hotel is 2 mins from the subway, which made me reluctant to complain.
However, my mobile key didn't work on the second day, and my physical key didn't work on the last day, so I had to spend time resolving the hotel's unprofessional problems.
Lastly, the night after I checked out, I received an email with a parking invoice. I Did Not Park at the hotel during my stay! This behavior is like theft, stealing customers' money without explanation. What's even frustrating is that non of their phone numbers online worked. read more
