Receptionist Laziness

I hand over the receptionist my drive license so she can get my name for the reservation, she forgot to hand me back, she held it in the desk drawer instead to call my room and let me know that my DL was there, without knowing I drove without my DL to Kissimmee, when I realize I did not have it on me, luckily nothing bad happen, but when I went to the Lobby again and explained what happen, the person was on the desk did not even said he was sorry for the situation, I expect the Hotel have a procedure to call the guest room next time to say they kept the document in the lobby. I though that extremely unprofessional.

Although the rooms could be updated, they were great for the time we were there! Only downside, there are no lifts so if you have someone who needs help getting up stairs, request a ground floor! The food was amazing at Tabla and the bus to UOR was wonderful. Would stay again, but on ground floor.
