Don’t make this your first luxury experience
This was my first time staying at a nicer hotel. I understand my family and I don’t look or dress like the usual customers but we were met with a tone of judgment and indifference I found insulting. The girl that helped me check out was very sweet but no one else explained any amenities or gave us any instructions or assistance to make our stay a smooth experience. When we did figure out room service on the provided QR code no one answered the phone.
