Front-desk and staff responsiveness varies
A few reviewers report problems getting timely attention or being heard.
Some negative experiences focus on service at the point of contact, including arriving to find no one at the front desk. Other reviews describe staff interactions as unfriendly or involving interruptions during a phone call. These comments stand apart from the many positive staff notes, but they point to inconsistency in responsiveness for visitors and families.
