I was shocked when there was no hand cream in the room. Also no water in the room. Two different prices in the lobby. The front desk person Lenny was in a terrible mood and was asking if he wasn't clear in what he kept repeating to me. I said you are clear but the woman over there said something different. He then got upset bc he thought I was taping our conversation on my phone but I had just been "talk to text" and it was still on. He made me feel like I was doing something so wrong and said he was "embarrassed " and he was all over the place. I travel extensively and have not had a front desk person act so erratic. I decided to end the conversation bc I don't think he could handle anymore. He was very very unprofessional in my opinion.
