Sorry I dont get it.if you were worried about not having a valet drive your car, why didnt you simply request that they call you and youd come right down to move it? and hold on to the keys, by letting them move it you could have ejust let them park it to begin with. For me it would be an all or nothing deal

telling management about something you know beforehand that you don’t like and saying you will take business elsewhere is too DYKWIA mentality in my mind... I take my business elsewhere and choose a property. It’s not my job to school the property/management.

That's an interesting position. I would assume that a well-run business would appreciate a reasonable opportunity to earn your business. I am currently at the Marriott in Monterey. They are in the process of remodeling the rooms and changing the beds. The new beds are bad for people with bad backs. They requested that for my future stays I contact them beforehand so that they can make special accommodations for me. Win-win situation.

Valet wasn’t moving the car. Only removing the charger to switch it to another vehicle.

The Ritz-Carlton Naples is a AAA-rated Five-Diamond hotel. They have earned that distinction since 1987. Out of thousands of hotels in Florida, there are only 10 that earn that rating.

It's fancy.

Compared to the average business traveler's usual hotel, I think "fancy" is a correct description of a Ritz.

I bet it's stuffy, too.

I live in SW Florida and have never found that property to be stuffy.....casual with a very high level of service.
