The managers and executives who designed and approved the hotel's breakfast system really should get the blame. But the poor hotel customer-facing staff got the flack. We rolled our eyes as and grumbled as we got into the elevator after the breakfast system was explained to us at check-in. We thought that if this system was problematic to us, it was likely problematic for other guests as well. And we were right. Overheard repeated ruckus between guests and hotel staff in the morning as I waited in the lobby. Guests failed to (or deliberately choose not to) comply with the hotel's arduous breakfast system that required two slips of paper, a QR code, and plenty of cell phone screens and key strokes. A very regimented process - guests MUST order online the night before and MUST designate a specific breakfast time and, in the end, MUST present a slip of paper. For people like us, on vacation and with no idea when we'd be ready for breakfast, let alone know what we would feel like eating in the morning, this process was unacceptable. Our group was tech-savvy but gave up on having multiple people try to peruse a menu and order off a single cell phone. Our stay would have been more positive without the regimented hospitality. The room was fine. The hotel's downtown location was nice, with plenty of restaurant options within walking distance. Our group has had decades of positive experiences at Radisson hotels for business and pleasure. Something has changed for the worse with the Radisson brand.
