Whitney Peak Hotel

Started great, ended so so. nice rooms. Poor management and understaff

The rooms are very nicely decorated and functional. It's a fantastic concept and has a wonderful feeling (except the odd red lights in the hallways) and could be so perfect with some management. The evening ladies (Matina and ?) running the concierge lounge were fantastic, friendly, area knowledgeable and very accommodating. Too bad they don't run the whole place, it would be a much nicer experience. Being able to have your kids and dogs with you was very nice. The location is great. The restaurant looked nice but we decided not to try based on the experience we had with staff and poor management in the hotel. Seemed like a good idea to avoid.

Never once saw a manager in 4 days. Poorly poorly managed. No one seemed to know what was going on or who was in charge. Housekeeping was awful..awful. Asked for extra blankets and were told by one they didn't have any. The never replaced our towels and never refilled our coffee pods or glass ware. Dirty sheets and towels piled down hallways for hours. Disgusting. We had to walk over mounds of dirty sheets and towels to get to our room. We even saw some sheets and towels with vomit and blood on them. Can't imagine the health department would approve. Just get a cart and leave at both hallway ends to put soiled linens in instead of having guests have to see this. It wasn't just a few minutes or even an hour, it was hours. Steve Wynn would flip a lid seeing this. Totally understaffed for New Years Eve holiday. 3 slow elevators that also serve for housekeeping and everything else so mornings are insane and takes 15-20 minutes to get down. Rude front desk staff, had no clue what was going on at all and seemed put off to even be asked a question. For some reason they cram all of the food items, toaster, etc. in a small corner section of the concierge lounge so everyone has to crowd in to that corner and wait for their toast, etc. It would be so much better to move the computer and printer into that corner space and spread the food items out on the long bar area at the end of the room or anywhere else in the nice big large rooms. Anyone with basic food and hospitality knowledge would quickly see this as an easy crowd control flow fix. The literature all says the lounge is open all day but whenever you try to access not during the breakfast or evening times, it was locked. The entrance to the hotel could use some updating, upgrading. Automatic doors would be nice as opposed to 2 sets of heavy doors that collapse on you as you come through with luggage and poor bellman. The showers had luke warm water and no water pressure. That was a major bummer.
