The Ritz, London...well, not so much

This post is to show that not all travel experiences are created equal. I mean, that's sort of the point of my blog in the first place; to share with you the good and that not so good. While 99% of my lobby/hotel experiences are incredibly positive and enjoyable, some are not. This is one of those 'are not' ones.

Keep in mind I very much appreciate an establishment's need for requirements and I either comply or avoid them if they're too restrictive for me. Requirements are fine, rudeness is not...

I do want to make note that the doorman was incredibly kind and professional when I first arrived and upon my return after complying with his 'fix'. He also questioned as to why I was leaving so quickly. The screenshots below will answer that question.
