My husband and I stayed in this hotel from 11/1-11/5. When we first checked into room 111, the room was so dark. There had no ceiling light, no desk lamp on the desk, and no floor lamp next to the sofa. All we had in the room was only two lamps next to the bed and the light at the entrance. Since we were staying for four nights, my husband went to the front desk and asked if we can move to another room that has better lighting. The front desk who worked in the PM shift on 11/1 was so rude. She had no name tag. I asked the AM shift front desk for her name and this PM shift lady was called Aalima. She was so rude. She said “when I am with the guests, don’t come and ask me for a room move.” I was thinking, so others are guests, we aren’t guests? When my husband went to the front desk the second times, she said she will find us a floor lamp. Later, she came to our room, and again, she was very rude and said to us “you get two lamps next to the bed and the entrance light. Every rooms are the same. Your room isn’t missing any lamps. I’m bringing you this floor lamp which is not supposed to be in this room. The floor lamp is for bigger room.” I told her that I work in the hotel as a housekeeping manager and I never seen a hotel room that is so dark. She said, “you are a housekeeping manager, you know this is a fire hazard to put a floor lamp next to the sofa. “ She was very rude and keep arguing with us and never apologize. When my husband returned the luggage cart back to the hotel entrance, Aalima asked him about the room after she put the floor lamp. My husband didn’t want to talk to her since she was so rude. However, my husband showed her the pictures that is on the hotel website, all the suites have floor lamps, desk lamps, and a coffee table. Our room doesn’t have any of them. Aalima lied again and said those rooms that have floor lamps and desk lamps are for other room types and they are not for your room, which I know it’s not true. Those rooms look exactly the same as our room. Aalima was just keep making excuses. My husband asked again if we can move to another room that has better lighting, she said again, “NO, there is nothing I can do. If you are trying to get a refund, look for other hotel.” We were so mad that we never plan to ask for a refund. We just asked to move to a room that has better lighting since we stay here for four nights. Around 11 pm, Aalima called and said she can move us to the third floor. Why did she need to wait until 11 pm to move us? Is that because there is no housekeeper works in the PM shift, if she moves us to another room, room 111 will show vacant dirty in the system, and later if the new reservation comes and she needs room 111, then she needs to clean the room for upcoming guests? The PM shift for front desk usually ends at 11 pm, she was only willing to move us right before she ends her shift, so if front desk needs room 111, the night auditor who works in the overnight shift need
