Everything was GREAT i.e. doorman when we arrived, unloaded luggage then brought it to our room, the TV was on with “Welcome KIM” on screen, sent me text to verify all was satisfactory, and soon. BIG NEGATIVE…every time we wanted something (soda, meds, food, ice cream) we would go to main lobby to get it and the place would be closed!! Even when according to their hours they should’ve been open.No bueno.
