3. We then went to the concierge after reluctantly accepting our unacceptable room to ask where we might find some suitable dining, to be snapped at by a rude, extremely disrespectful woman with a french accent, who again made us feel like we were bothering her and how dare we do so.

10. We enjoy staying at this hotel so much we tolerate the absolute disinterest and rudeness of the front desk staff----It must be a pre-requisite to hiring--as we have been staying here for years and while the staff changes but the bad attitude does not.
