The one thing that’s truly horrible about this place is that there aren’t more elevators! Not having one for guests and staff at the far end is bad bad bad. For gosh sakes take out one room and put one in! Another thing i noticed is how narrow the stairways are and seems like a major safety issue. For older folks this far end is horrible for getting to and from. Great staff!

Keep Enrico and hire new staff! There were 3 people at the counter when I checked in and all of them passed me me on to someone else until the last guy sighed and was like I guess I’ll help u. Nothing but lazy lazy people! I heard the entire hotel complaining at one point! Not worth the frustration, stay elsewhere!
