    • Disliked: Staff & service

    Everything was great except the housekeeping. I arrived at check in time just before 3 PM and my room was not ready, and when the desk clerk told me I had to wait an hour I said this was unacceptable and he gave me another room. I was not told that they had changed the schedule for making up the room to every other day. I had to chase someone down twice during my stay just to get towels. The second time I had to get towels the maid came in later and removed them when I was gone. the last day I was there, the housekeepers started to clean the room mid morning and when I left for dinner at 4:30 PM the room was not made up and I had no towels all day. I had to get the desk clerk to get the housekeepers to finish the job. I had one of the most expensive suites in this hotel, was booked for 4 days, and could not get clean towels. I've been going to this hotel of and on for 20 years, and this was the worst experience with housekeeping I have ever had. I'm going to seriously consider not using this hotel in future visits to the area.
