We stayed at this gorgeous hotel while attending my son's graduation from Air Force Technical School at Brooks City-Base. My family has stayed here before, and recommended it highly. First night in the hotel, there was a boxing something or other in town, and we were placed amongst the boxers, who I guess didn't realize there were other guests on the floor. The noise was overwhelming, and the yelling, shouting, laughing, and slamming doors went on till well after midnight. We called down to the front desk twice and asked them to please tend to the ridiculous atmosphere going on, but the response by the security staff was ineffective. I went down to the front desk the next morning to comment on the situation, and specifically asked the front desk person if the same "guests" were going to be staying the next night. I was assured they were checking out that afternoon. Hallelujah! However, the next night we got more of the same, as the front desk had booked more hellions into the room next door. Security was called, not by me this time, at 11:30pm, but again, was ineffective. I finally called down around 1am, but there was nothing done. The party lasted well on to about 230am. I spoke to the front desk on the way out the next morning, and asked to speak to the manager, but was told she didn't come in till "around nine or so". I found that so infuriating I could not bring myself to finish my conversation with the employee at the front desk, except to tell him that we WILL NOT return to the St. Anthony.
I guess with the economy being what it is, they have lowered their standards too far, with the result being the more well-heeled clientele is being driven out. These idiots causing the trouble should never have been at this hotel...they were more worthy of a Days Inn or Motel 6. How they ended up at this gorgeous property is a sin. Until The St. Anthony figures out how to keep these hooligans out of its property, we won't be back.
