Nothing has changed my view that the only way to get treated well here is to be famous or a hotel reviewer. Since I am neither, I won't be back.
Well, I'd add that I was there not 10 days after that 'famous reviewer' was there. She was treated like a queen. We got treated as bad or worse than you did.

Incidentally, that 'famous reviewer' doesn't take criticism well, if at all. We exchanged several emails about her shockingly incorrect, and perhaps unethical, review of new Hotel Bel Air, and she dismissed my arguments completely.

.... And I don't like club sandwiches....
