Do Not Distrub means it's okay to call
On a recent stay at this hotel, I was lazy on Sunday morning, getting ready slowly. The Do Not Distrub sign was on the door as I wanted to take my time. About 10 AM, the phone rang, but I couldn't get to it in time. I proceeded to get ready, and about, 10:30 AM the phone rang again. It was the front desk asking if housekeeping could come in the room. I asked them to wait 45 minutes. Note: checkout time is noon. As soon as I hung up the phone, it rang again, and this time, it was housekeeping asking to enter the room. I again asked them to wait 45 mintues. I didn't leave a tip.
This hotel is nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. I ate at the restaurant the previous night, and the meal was delicious, but overpriced. Also, there is a $20 a night parking fee. If the staff had not be so over-eager to get me out of the room, I would have been satisfied with the hotel. I travel consistently for business, and this is the first hotel to call about housekeeping before noon.
