Pros:

All Staff was very friendly! Kevin was exceptionally attentive and we both felt spoiled with his knowledge and services. Having a keurig in the room was wonderful.

Cons:

I wish there was a fan in the bathroom.
I would have preferred a room without a connecting door but it was ok.

Unauthorized Entry/Bedding placed back on bed from Floor of the Hotel
Pros:

On May 21st, I checked into Room with no issues. On May 22nd, at approximately 5:00 AM, I checked back into the same room with Jessica at the front desk. At that time, I specifically mentioned that I had placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on my door and expressed my hope that it would be respected, as I would not be returning until later that evening due to scheduled meetings.

When I returned to my room at approximately 8:45 PM, I was shocked and disturbed to discover that the room had clearly been entered despite the "Do Not Disturb" sign being displayed.

The condition of the room was completely different from how I left it:

The lights and lamps were turned on, although I left them off.
The window shades were fully opened.
The bathroom light was on.
My clothing bag had been moved from the table to the chair.
The nightstand and desk drawers were left opened.
The bed cover that I intentionally placed on the floor had been put back onto the bed.

I had to go to the front desk, request NEW BEDDING, place the Sheets and all on myself due to the Bed Cover being placed back on the bed which was on the floor!

Personal bathroom items had clearly been moved or touched.
This situation is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. A guest's privacy, personal belongings, and explicit request not to be disturbed should be respected at all times. To return to a room that had been altered in so many ways without authorization left me feeling uncomfortable and violated.

Very disappointed with Charlotte-Burke-Thompson (Front office Manager) and Maguette Loechner (General Manager). This will never be a stay for me ever again, even if it means going to a Marriott Property or others!
