I would give service a zero, if it weren't for the very sweet housekeeper, and the awesome lady who works night shift! An individiual named Dylan at the front desk, however, seems to take personal preference over customer service more seriously... We asked for an early check in at around 1 pm, and, our original check in was 3 pm. DYLAN apologized for the inconvenience and said he had reached the limit of early check-ins. COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDABLE. We sat in the lobby for approximately two minutes, and before we left, I was looking for a water fountain to take my Tylenol, as my legs were hurting. The housekeeper was kind enough to open the door where the fountains were, so I could grab a sip of water. DYLAN, at the front counter, proceeded to tell my husband " Hey man, no free water until after check in." WOW! We left and came back at 2:45 pm to check in. DYLAN, told us he could check us in now, but when we got to the counter, DYLAN stated, " Oh, I'm sorry, no I can't , because you're a third party " Since when did that matter? I have a membership, and have stayed here several times before. We have NEVER had an issue / issues! Then this morning, I called at 9 am and asked for a late check out, and DYLAN told me, " Unfortunately, I have too many late checkouts this morning. I hardly ever complain. WE Will not be staying here again.
