It's the little things.
The Dakota is a great hotel. The public areas are cozy and welcoming, the reed diffusers everywhere means it always smells goo and the rooms are generally comfortable. I've stayed her 5 or 6 times and it's always been excellent. However this time I paid extra for an executive room and it wasn't as good as it could have been. The double bed was two mattresses so there was a join down the middle, the mattresses dint cover the bed base so there was an uncomfortable step round the bed, a cable was hanging down out the bottom of the TV and the pleather desk top was damaged in three places.

Night away
Overall very nice stay. Was hard in the dark to find the entrance as not well lit. Was bit strange to have £50 taken from my card on arrival. Never been asked for that before and stayed in a lot of places. Takes a few days to return to card after stay apparently. The hotel itself is nice inside. comfortable. Nice staff members. WiFi was shocking even with TV on as advised. Kept cutting off. Reported this on feedback card and at reception on departure..

Expedia need to inform hotels that gold awardees may be given a room update. Room quite cool on arrival. Heater brought to help but was totally ineffective blowing cold air. Restaurant very busy, service suffered as a consequence. Not what one expected.
