Snarky check in. No smile. No welcoming greeting.. Pro forma . Bored. Done this a million times. Glaring due to the contrast to the enthusiastic reception we’d experienced the day before at another hotel. As an older couple with obviously heavy luggage we were surprised that hotel receptionist suggested we could take the elevator OR the stairs, a very steep set of stairs. Room decor was tired, door to the drink cabinet fell off when we opened it. Exceedingly small bathroom. In stark contrast the valet was extremely enthusiastic and accommodating.Isn’t this all upside down?

Elevator

When I made my reservation I received an email that the elevator was broken and out of use. I called and was told it was to be fixed before we arrived. When we arrived it was not Andy our room was in the third floor. When we told the hotel clerk on duty we couldn’t walk up 3 floors she wanted to upgrade us for a fee and we objected and let her know what we were told the elevator would have been fixed upon check in so she agreed to give us a room on the first floor without an addl charge w/o an upgrade finally.

The Mountain View room was quaint but it was so loud with the downstairs bar and the next door ladies going in and out of the room. It needs a major update.
