One issue of concern: on the morning of check out, I walked down to the lobby looking for a luggage cart and asked the vallet manager for one. He reluctantly gave me one and was questioning if I was ready to leave right away instead of keeping it in my room. Iโ€™m on vacation and it felt like an interrogation. He made me mad but I didnโ€™t want to get worked up. This department needs some work."
