mixed feelings about my stay

slow dining servicemissing turndown service
the in-room dining service proved slow. one evening, i waited over an hour for a simple club sandwich. the promised turndown service never materialized, a detail i consider standard for a hotel of this caliber. the absence left a noticeable gap in the overall experience.
