More practice required…

The female reception staff were surly and disinterested and arrogant. I unfortunately can’t name the individual because my post will then not be accepted, but I don’t think TATUM O’Neill would check into this hotel……the male reception staff were delightful. The porters were very helpful and the housekeeping good. Hotel overpriced for what is offered.
