Julius was so rude it was a late check in which we had called prior and received the okay. We waited a long time to be let in and then waited in the foyer for 20 minutes before he came down and rudely said cant you see the sign says check in on level 1 its common sense. Well to be honest ive never seen any other hotel in my life where the check in counter has not been on entry level. Dont greet us like trash because we are paying top dollar. Whats trash is your staff member and his lack of communication and at the least any service
