Terrible check in.
Check in was terrible. Official check in is 3:00 pm. We arrived around 3:30 pm. We were told our room was not ready and would be ready in about 30 minutes. Our room was still not ready 45 minutes later. The front desk then said it would be another 20 minutes or so. I then said unacceptable as we had an upcoming commitment. Front desk then gave us a different room. Unbelievable for a fine hotel.
