Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hotel was decent (had its hit and misses). We had some issues with housekeeping not showing up after several requests. Location was great but the hotel felt very 4 star average. Dated overall. We have stayed at other Sofitel chains and this hotel seemed to fall short. It had a convention vibe overall. Our shower also leaked water onto the floor…. literally puddles and soaked towels after each shower. On a more positive note the concierge was very helpful with food suggestions throughout our stay and the gym was great.
