I had a very disappointing trip due to the unfriendliness and inaccurate information provided by the front desk staff. I lost the master key a month ago and paid a deposit, with the promise that I would receive a refund once I returned the key. However, when I went to return the key, Lucy Lee at the front desk told me that since the senior staff hadn’t approved it, she couldn’t process the refund. This situation has been very frustrating for me.
