Dead bolt wouldnt lock. Tub was too slippery to use.
My stay at Finns was a mixed experience. While the room's bed was exceptionally comfortable—truly one of the best I've ever slept on in a hotel—the lack of any food options was a significant drawback.
I was surprised to find there was no free breakfast, a common amenity at many hotels. More disappointingly, there were no food options available for purchase at all. This meant that every meal required a trip off-site. For someone who prefers the convenience of dining in or grabbing a quick bite before heading out, this was a major inconvenience.
Ultimately, while the comfort of the bed made for a great night's sleep, the complete absence of food service makes me hesitant to recommend this hotel to fellow travelers who value convenience and on-site dining options.
Owners are very rude, threatening to call cops if I wasn’t fien to the office in 5 mins to pay for another night. Said we could not workout outside, made my son open the door so they could see who was inside and made me write down names of everyone staying for no reason after I already paid the night up.
The room was disgustingly dirty, we had to ask for a blanket changed from a disgusting stain. The price for sleeping was alright but I would spend the extra money to stay somewhere ELSE better where they aren’t stingy to give me an extra clean cover for the bed on top of the blanket. THERE WERE STAINS AND DUST ON THE WHITE BED COVER We also asked for a non smoking room and it smelt of old cigarettes. The phone wasn’t even connected to call the front desk. Look into your rooms and make sure it ACTUALLY IS TIDY AND CLEANED UP NOT JUST COVERED UP
