Disliked: Staff & service
Thirty patrons were watching the Academy Awards Mar 2/2025 on the HI New York large screen tv. This was an important once a year show and we wanted to watch the awards and not a comedy show which railroaded its way in and rudely shut off the tv feed. We told the comedy group we weren’t interested in comedy since we were there to watch the Academy Awards and wanted the comedy group to go away. We even went to the front desk to complain,who refused to let us continue to watch the OSCARS. This was handled very poorly and caused a lot of anger.
