Exactly what was needed

Ended up coming here after a nightmare experience at a different hotel. One of the elevators went out of service (creating a jam packed ride with four guests, a staff member and his giant laundry cart) and the pool filtration system was definitely not functioning optimally but the stay was still pleasant. Front desk staff were all very friendly and kind to deal with and the room itself was clean and cozy!

Awful service

Hello, our stay was awful. I've never had such a terrible experience. The group of teenagers were running around all over the hotel till 11:40pm. We called to reception and asked to stop this mess as we couldn't sleep. The reception person didn't help. They even didn't come to our floor. Next time we went downstairs to complain to reception in person. But again they didn't help us, nobody came to our floor or to our room to solve this situation. Finally, we contacted the group guardian of these kids with a warning to call the police.

Stayed 4 nights and They said they’d call when Restaurant was closed for renovations. Only 1 elevator worked, ran out of coffee for 2 days there. Chrome or Netflix didn’t work with wifii. Parking limited. They said they would call when room was available and they didn’t. They never answered phone when tried calling down for a wake up.

Beautiful view of river was nice, but windows very dirty and smudged with fingerprints/nose prints. Found used kcup from previous guest in the machine in my room when I went to make a coffee. Pool itself is nice, but pool area is in need of repair/paint. It is also ridiculous to get to from higher floors. Pool Ladder/railing for pool steps are coming out of ground (serious safety hazard), there was no safety equipment in case of drowning. Several times went down to swim; no towels. There was a dance competition so loads of kids in pool (25 kids & 15 adults who were drinking), was incredibly loud, nowhere to sit or put our things as floor was soaking with puddles of water. Rooms not soundproofed, heard every cough, sneeze and footstep. Spent 2 nights listening to a little kid running up and down halls while I tried to sleep. I'd say this is more like a motel, than a hotel. Staff was friendly. Close to museums, galleries.

The property was economical, the room was quite spacious and the bath was large, The check in was easy, The hotel uses a very unpleasant disinfectant spray. The room reeked of this, This spray always makes me very ill. However, there was a very efficient extractor fan in the bathroom. We left this on for a few hours whilst we went out and the smell dissipated. I think this spray should be banned.

We found a bug in the bed, not sure if it’s was a bed bug. It was very hard to get a parking spot, so once we had one we felt we could not use our vehicle for fear of not having a parking spot when we returned. The floor of the swimming pool is extremely slippery, I fell and hurt my ankle.
