We arrived at 3:30 (my Hotels.com itinerary specifically said our check in was at 3pm) and to our surprise, the room was not ready. There were 2 people at the front desk, a man and a woman- I unfortunately did not catch their names. The woman was very apologetic and sincere, while the man rudely pointed to the sign on the wall to us and said "just so you know, check in is at 4pm" That statement right there irritated both my husband and myself since my itinerary CLEARLY said check in was at 3pm. Normally, we wouldn't get upset about a simple mistake like that (hey no problem at all, we will grab a bite to eat and come back after 4pm). But it was the shear tone that the man said this to us that irked us to the core. It felt like he was trying to tell us that we weren't "worthy" of staying at this hotel because of not seeing that sign. Then a moment later, that same man moved over to the other side of the counter and very politely and enthusiastically greeted an airline crew and checked them in (meanwhile, this is still before 4pm).
So we decided to just leave and grab some dinner. When we came back, the nice woman that tried to check us in earlier was no longer at the counter, but the rude man was, so I showed him the screenshot of my itinerary and said "just so YOU know, it WAS on my itinerary that check in was at 3pm". He didn't even apologize, but he changed his tone with us and then checked us in.
I doubt we will be back to this hotel on our next stay.
