This was my first-ever stay at a five-star hotel, and I expected an unparalleled experience, but it fell far short. When I arrived two hours before check-in, I was told my room would be ready soon, and I was promised a call or text. After returning at 3:50 p.m., no one had contacted me. The room, when we finally got it, was dated—peeling wallpaper in the bathroom, broken dispensers for soap and shampoo left in place, and a double-paned window by the bathtub filled with black mold. For a luxury property, this is completely unacceptable. Additionally, the attached café, Pink Hermit, run by executive chef Jean-Georges, was a letdown. We arrived at 6:10 a.m., just after opening, but the coffee was ready, yet the pastries were not served until nearly 6:30. I expected far more precision and care. This stay did not live up to its reputation, and I would not return! This is a follow up from The Hermitage: Follow up - recent stay Good afternoon Mr. Thank you again for taking the time to complete and share your survey with us.

Sincerely, SOLEDAD BARDAS Director of Rooms THE HERMITA GE HOTEL 231 Sixth Avenue North, Nashville, Tennessee 37219 “After my initial stay, the hotel promised to follow up and discuss my concerns. Despite two emails from me in the past week, I have received no response. This lack of communication, after their assurances, is completely unacceptable. What was supposed to be a five-star experience turned into a complete disappointment.”
