The reception area was not clearly marked. I was ignored upon arrival while carrying bags, indicating I was checking in. Staff should pay closer attention to arriving guests.

dirty food trayweak air conditioning
I thought the air conditioning was quite weak and both nights felt stuffy. a dirty food tray sat outside my door for nearly a day. I guess nobody noticed it. the breakfast quality was a bit underwhelming considering the hotel's reputation and price. the reception area wasn't very clear, and i felt a little ignored when i arrived with my luggage. it would have been nice to get some help right away.
