Poor Reception

The service at Reception was not ideal. I was hosting a meeting with my Customer Excellence management team. I had a meeting room booked. Checking in - half of the team had checked in on-line yet they had to repeat the full process the same as those that had not - why? I was expecting to be shown to our meeting room and introduced. There was no key for the room. I had to return to reception, asked for this after much moving around i was told to go back down with one of your team. He started looking in the other meeting rooms and then asked me why I wanted to change rooms. I explained I had no reason to change room, I wanted a key to lock our room so we could pop out. I then had to return to reception after he called ahead to tell them. When I got there, I had to wait for someone to come from out back to prepare the key. This cost a lot of wasted time in my meeting. For the cost of this room, I thought this was appalling.

Close walk to downtown but lackluster

The A/C in the room didnt work, and the last night, our family of 4 was sweltering. The front desk attendant said he would let his manager know but didnt seem to bothered to do much about it. We were also on the 6th floor but the elevators only went up to 5 so we had to lug out 5 suitcases up a flight of stairs. Strange. The hotel was huge and close to walk to most everything. The breakfast buffet was the best part. My kids loved it. But overall, it was a lackluster experience.
