Underwhelming Stay

early closure lacking room service

The Classic King Room Courtyard View was acceptable.

I found the room service quite lacking. An item didn't arrive. By the time it showed up, the other food was gone, so it wasn't useful. Plus, the pool closed for cleaning early even if it opens later. I picked this hotel largely for the pool, that was bad luck.

lift rebellion stair signs

apple gave a comprehensive tour of the hotel and seemed genuinely passionate. it was.. acceptable.

The lifts proved problematic. They refused to stop at my floor! it was like some kind of lift rebellion i wasn't informed about. also, finding anyone who knew where the stairs were was like a quest. maybe they should invest in a stair-finding dog.. or just, you know, signs.
