I recently stayed at this hotel and overall, my room/apartment was spotless, which I greatly appreciated. However, I was disappointed by the kitchen staff and felt compelled to share my concerns. While sitting at the bar, I had a clear view into the kitchen, which had no door separating it from the dining area. I observed two young women plating food. One was handling fries with long nail extensions, but without gloves, which I found unsanitary. The other was eating leftover fries while holding her phone, standing next to the person preparing the food.
While the kitchen and bar areas themselves were clean, the lack of proper food safety practices left me uncomfortable. It’s concerning that the staff were handling food without gloves, especially since bacteria can linger under fake nails, and eating while working with food made the situation even worse. After witnessing this, I decided not to order food, as it did not meet the hygiene standards I expect from a hospitality establishment.
I hope the hotel addresses these issues, as it could make a big difference in the overall guest experience because I refused to order any food after seeing that.
