3. On the down side, the elevators were extremely slow and small and when possible I took the stairs.

4. Also, the elevators were pretty slow during rush hour and seemed to have a lot of problems (like the buttons would all erase without explanation).

5. The elevators were slow and some guests even opted to walk down the stairs rather than wait 30 minutes for an elevator.

6. Valet garage was offsite, so service was slow getting in and out.

9. Only two complaints is that the valet was a tad slow and expensive and that the lounge on the top of the hotel allowed too many people in at night to be comfortable and fun.

10. Beyond that, the front desk always seemed understaffed--maybe just very slow? One guest asked the man at the front desk what time the hotel's restaurant opened (information that he should probably know off the top of his head), but instead it somehow took him around 10 minutes to call and find the answer.
