One of the front desk staff people here went out of her way to make our stay as unenjoyable as possible. The bonus is that it seems to make her feel good about herself. It's a shame, since the overall hotel, while dated, is okay, and we were VERY impressed with the cleanliness. The room, and particularly the bathroom, was immaculately clean. I wouldn't know about the breakfast, since even though it was included in our room rate, the front desk person didn't allow us to try it.
This interaction with the staff person isn't the end of the world, but the fact that it still bothers me the day after is quite somehting.
