“What struck me most after reading about this property was the contrast between its solid reputation and a particularly unfortunate guest experience; the situation described felt deeply unsettling, especially for someone arriving late and alone in a new city. While this incident seems to be an outlier given the overall positive feedback, it does raise concerns about service consistency and communication. It's a reminder that even well-regarded hotels can falter, and that responsiveness is crucial.”
