@SheratonBoston Hi staying there currently and need to talk to someone on the phone urgently. Reception rings and rings and rings. How can I get a human? Reservations said they can’t help.

@MichaelsStores @HTBMelle Hi @MichaelsStores I am having the same issue. Been almost an hour. Received a (very delayed) product that has defects that are almost comical and also the wrong dimensions. Not an easy return due to odd sizing and can’t get a hold of anyone.
