I always book this hotel and know what their service is like, but every time they manage to amaze me. The first time, the front desk staff had a bad attitude at check-in; this time, the check-in staff were actually very great. However, while we were waiting in the lobby after checking out because of our high-speed train, the security guard was quite ridiculous. He kept pacing back and forth in front of us, probably because we had so many bags and he found us an eyesore. Later, I was holding some soy milk and a pastry without any intention of eating them right then, and he rushed over to tell me that eating isn't allowed here, using a very commanding tone. That made me feel like he had been pacing in front of us just waiting for an excuse to have a go at me. My first reaction to his poor attitude was: is it because I had to stay in the lobby after checking out to wait for a later departure? Your hotel didn't offer a complimentary late checkout to match my taxi time, so is sitting here for a little while subject to a fee? It wasn't until after we left that I noticed there was a café-style dining area nearby where we could have gone completely unnoticed. Had I known, I would have sat over there instead of enduring the security guard's attitude. We later mentioned this to the front desk, and shortly after, the security guard seemed to have changed shifts. That said, I must commend the doorman at the entrance who actively helped us load our luggage—his physical labor was miles better than the service of the security guard who was just strolling around and keeping an eye on us inside the lobby. While we are very satisfied with the hotel's location, the service really needs improvement. If eating isn't allowed, there should be a clear reminder sign, or when the security guard noticed us, he could have politely suggested that I go to the nearby café instead of staring us down and barking orders in such a dry, rude manner. Anyone would feel uncomfortable with that; at the very least, he should understand that he works in the hospitality industry.
