One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at

One of the WORST hotels that I have ever stayed at. I think that the lift situation is illegal. I spoke to multiple staff members who said that all lifts have been down for nearly 3 months. It is incredibly dangerous that there is only 1 working service lift to serve the entire building guests and staff. My room smelled of damp and didn't even have any soap. There was a hole in my sheets on my bed. Overall AWFUL experience. Do not stay here.

Great view from hotel room and comfy bed, but none of the guest elevators worked at all and we had to all use the service elevator which sometimes took 20+ minutes and sometimes had to ride up and down with packed housekeeping carts or way too many people. Overall the room could have been significantly cleaner (shower head & shower & overall bathroom did not look properly cleaned), cracks in the walls/ceiling, some stains on the alcove. The staff, other than the super kind and welcoming guy that checked me in, were very standoffish and seemed irritated during every interaction I had with them and would answer my questions poorly so I was still confused afterwards. The concierge also didn’t tell me until when they’d be able to hold my bag downstairs and front desk also didn’t effectively communicate that information, so I returned later that night to pick up my bag to not see a concierge anywhere in sight and have to go upstairs to the lobby to ask about it only to see my bag and all my stuff thrown on the ground in a corner of the lobby with no security insight or anyone present other than the front desk personnel. Thankfully no one intended to steal my belongings but if they had wanted to there was nothing really keeping them from doing so as they couldn’t even hold my stuff behind the counter. I don’t think I’d stay there again nor recommend it, to be honest.

Avoid this place!

Still no elevator service to floors above reception. You have to take a freight elevator to your floor! No soap, no water cups, no ice bucket in my room.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The room had no towels, not even hand towels. No hand soap. Place smelled of Pee, extremely dirty, main elevator did not work and had to use the maintenance elevator. Cool area, building, and views. Couldn’t even shower, and when I requested towels, was told by staff that “everyone in the hotel was looking for some and that they had not received delivery”??

Disgusting - save your money and book elsewhere

I am shocked and appalled by the status of this hotel. It is clear that no one cares about maintaining it. We tried to spend as little time as possible here. This hotel is in no condition for guests and I believe that I and hotels.com have been scammed. First of all, the black mold in the shower (see photos) is a serious health code violation. I was too scared NOT to wear shower shoes. Next, there are 20+ floors and the guest elevators have apparently been broken for months. Only one of the two service elevators is working. We were joined by garbage bags, dirty mop buckets, and angry staff on every ride. It was nauseating. We ended up having to walk down 11 flights of stairs with our luggage because after waiting for 20 minutes, the elevators were full both times. Cramming as many people as possible into the elevator cannot be safe. Next, there were no shower towels when we arrived. I called and was told they we were waiting for the delivery truck to arrive. How does a hotel not monitor clean towel levels and refresh accordingly? Basic amenities don’t exist here - there was no tissue box, no garbage can in the bathroom, not even a bar of hand soap in this room. The TV kept turning on and off - possibly because it was raining outside and the reception was bad? The hotel was not cheap either - all of this cost $321 on a Saturday in April. I wish I would’ve spent a few extra dollars to stay at a Marriott around the corner. I hope this review saves another person from booking.

Upon arrival we were met with the unfortunate circumstance of the main elevators all being out of service, requiring all guests and staff to use the service elevators. Our room looked very nice with a nice view, but the ceiling in the shower was chipped and small pieces fell on us during a shower. Very few provided toiletries, including no toothpaste or body lotion. Was also 1 little bottle of bath soap but 3 bottles of shampoo/conditioner. The phone was constantly beeping for half the night and the Air Conditioner in the room barely worked (we woke up to the room being 78 degrees after setting it to 67 before going to sleep).

Location was good, facilities of the hotel were not good - lifts were not working so had to use the goods lift and there were also times where that goods lift which was shared by all the other floors causing delays. Goods lift was also broken at one stage so had to take the stairs. Beds are also very uncomfortable (too soft causing back pains)

This hotel was a complete rip off and didn’t reflect the picture online . The shower had a horrible Oder and everything in the room was dusty . In addition the elevator wasn’t working we had to used the service elevators . I’m highly upset I had to spend my vacation and my hard earn money on such a dump of an hotel .this hotel should be closed to the public until it gets affairs in order because it isn’t fair you charge customers all that money for absolutely nothing in return I am pissed off.
