Inconsistent Service and Overstated Elegance

early noise slow service

The leaf blower started early. It ruined the peace. The music selection seemed inappropriate for the setting, it was like a rave. Our room request was ignored and staff seemed overwhelmed. The service was often slow and inattentive.
