Everything was great until checkout on 7/12. Went to front desk to check out and clerk was having a lengthy conversation with a woman who was either a friend or a guest but I stood there for a couple of minutes, room key in hand so obvious I wanted to complete checkout yet she just kept gabbing as if I wasn’t there~~finally just dropped key on counter and left without a receipt. Poor customer service
