Utente ospite

I recently stayed at the Sagamore Pendry and unfortunately, our experience did not meet the high expectations that come with a five-star property. While there were a few positives, the overall management of the hotel appeared to fall short in several key areas. Upon arrival, valet parking was significantly delayed. There was no staff available to assist us, and we waited for quite some time without any acknowledgment or apology. This lack of service set a concerning tone for the rest of our stay. We were pleased to receive an upgrade to a water-view room, which we appreciated. However, the pool area was overcrowded with a loud and rowdy group of people who seemed to have purchased day passes. It was clear that there was little to no management oversight to maintain a relaxing environment for hotel guests. At one point, I overheard staff calling security, but when security arrived, they didn’t address the group’s behavior. When we checked in, there was no explanation of the hotel’s amenities, leaving us to figure things out on our own. The welcome cocktail was also disappointing. Instead of a prepared drink, we had to serve ourselves from a dispenser and then take it to the bar to have whiskey added. This felt very misleading and far from the luxury experience we anticipated. We also requested turndown service before dinner, as we needed extra linens and an ice bucket. Unfortunately, this was never completed. When I followed up later, I was told that the “cart was put away” and the attendant had already left for the night. While the items were eventually brought to us, the service was well below what we expected from a hotel of this caliber. I attempted to reach out to the hotel management via email and phone to express my concerns directly, but unfortunately, I never received a response to either. This lack of communication only further diminished our overall experience. While I understand that hospitality can be challenging, I believe these issues reflect management failures rather than the efforts of individual staff members. The employees we encountered were working hard but appeared to lack the support and guidance necessary to provide the high level of service typically associated with a five-star hotel. I hope the Sagamore Pendry takes this feedback seriously and works to address these concerns for future guests.
