Horrific experience from start to finish.

Horrific experience from start to finish,

Staff will leave you standing at reception while they play with their computer. Our room was tiny and next to a lift that sounded like a barrel rolling across the celling every 2 minutes. When I complained, I was told it only runs from 7am to 10pm, and no offer to change my room. Thank you, I love paying €250+ per night for a room where the hotel decides at what time I can and cannot sleep peacefully. And they have the audacity to charge €35 extra per night for some ridiculous “resort fee”. This practice is disgusting and price gouging to make them look more attractive per night rate. It’s illegal in the EU to do this, and rightly so, and the expiation I was given was to cover “wifi and other amenities”. Really? You think I should pay extra for poor quality wifi and a pool I didn’t use in 2024?

Notable that no one asked me how was my stay on checkout. I suspect they know the answer to that one.

The only positive I can say is the housekeeping and location was good. Suggest you avoid this place. Horrific experience, we couldn’t wait to get out of here, doesn’t even deserve one star review.

Avoid at all costs.

The valet service was terrible. They gave me the wrong car, hit the curb, and a traffic cone. On top of that, they drove away quickly and then almost backed up onto another car. To make matters worse, I was charged for two nights of parking when I only used it for one because it was so bad. They were unwilling to refund the extra charge, so I had to escalate the matter and speak to a manager. In addition to all of this, the wifi didn't work on one of the nights, when I called for more water, they never came up.

Ceiling leaking. They blame it on condensation from AC and do nothing. Shower doesn’t drain. Shower quickly turns into bath. Sink doesn’t drain. Wall paper is bubbling and falling apart. $300 per night

Good location is only redeeming factor, would avoid if other options are available.

Room tip: Avoid this place

Joel, it is concerning to hear that your stay did not meet your expectations. The issue with the ceiling and the explanation provided are noted, and it is unfortunate this impacted your experience. Problems with the shower and the sink, and the condition of the wallpaper is not up to the standard we strive for.

Your feedback plays a crucial role in our continuous efforts to improve our services and facilities. Our maintenance team is already looking into the matters you've highlighted. We understand that a convenient location alone is not sufficient to ensure a satisfactory stay and your comments will be used to better our offerings.

It is our hope to offer a vastly improved experience, should you choose to give us another opportunity. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Jorge, was the Desk Associate when I checked in. I had some challenges with my room. Jorge not only came to understand the issue, moved me and came to help me move. I had a very specific request from an embassy I was visiting. Jorge was able to direct me to what I needed and it was resolved in minutes. It was his first day and he provided the excellent customer service we used to get. It was refreshing and pleasant. I would stay there again based on my experience with Jorge.

Room tip: This is a 3 star hotel regardless of what some sites say. Good location, clean and friendly helpful staff. Rooms and bathrooms are dated.
