This is a top tier hotel that we’ve stayed at many times and always received stellar service. This time the person that checked us in was less than welcoming and made us feel like we were inconveniencing them, which is not the type of service we’ve come to expect from The Brown. Later that night our group of 8 and another smaller group were seated in the lobby to talk and a staff person told us we had to leave the lobby because the bar was closing. We weren’t in the bar and weren’t being particularly loud. There are no other public gathering places and none of our rooms could seat 8 people comfortably. None of our party had ever been asked to leave a hotel lobby and both groups were very surprised that this happened at a hotel that is normally so accommodating. Hopefully the hotel will address the issues and our next stay will be back to the usual standards.
