Although the lobby and overall appearance of the main areas is beautiful I did complain on check out about the facilities provided in the actual room (442). The coffee machine didn't work, the cooler/refrigerator didn't work and the TV signal went out all evening (possibly due to storm). The bathroom was in an appalling condition, more like you might expect to see in an inferior hotel. Our travelling companions, also complained about the disgusting state of their bathroom, they were in the room next door to ours, They took photos. The reception manager said she was unable to offer a discount/refund as we had booked through Expedia. Obviously this spoiled our stay. Can Expedia help with this matter in any way?
