Great Rooftop Lounge, Disappointing Hotel Experience
Pros:

The bad- I specifically called ahead of time to request adjoining rooms. We were in town for college graduation and was told it would not be a problem, and a note had been added to the reservation. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told there were no adjoining rooms available. They did place us in a side by side room, but that was not the same arrangement we had confirmed in advance, and it significantly impacted our plans for the evening. One of our family members was on the 5th floor and had an odd room number and heard the train several times during the early morning hours and said the road noise was bad. We had additional rooms on the 6th floor with even numbers and we did not hear the trains. The walls are not sound proof and you will hear your neighbor. There is a fee to park at this hotel of $21. For $500/night there is a higher expectation.

The good. Sen checked us in and she was very professional and kind. I did not blame her for the adjoining room situation. She did not make our reservations and tried her best by putting us in rooms side by side. The hotel is clean with comfortable bedding.

We had reserved the bar area at the Willard Rooftop Lounge. I worked with Leslie in Catering to reserve the space and accommodations. She was great to work with. Ian was our server and did a phenomenal job of herding the cats. The food and drinks were good and the views from the rooftop are also good. I give the Willard Lounge and their staff 5 stars.

I loved the room and the view, however the attitude of the certain staff members could improve.
Pros:

The breakfast was extra and I had no problem paying. However the seating options were very limited. Adding a few (3) 2 seaters would make it more reasonable, as sitting alone at a 4-top felt too much.

Cons:

The day and night staff couldn't be more different. The day receptionist made my family feel uncomfortable and looked down upon for even staying. The night receptionist was far more respectful and had no problems.
