One And Done
Check in for Everyone is 4 p.m. therefore creating chaos and long lines (some as much as 2 hours)waiting for the elevators. 30 floors of everyone having the same check-in time is ridiculous. This problem could easily be solved by staggering check-in times. Registration Desk Employees were extremely rude. The Security Staff was excellent. Overall the condo was nice. The bed was terrible. Like the title says. One And Done. We will never stay at Tidewater again!!!
