Very average. Would not come back

Stay was ok but I wouldn’t come back. No safe in the room, air con/heating didn’t turn on, ironing board but no iron and no hairdryer. Ordered room service one evening which seemed to a game as to what I might get. Two people hung up on me while trying to order It wasn’t even possible to leave a card at reception so needed to pay for every single thing as you went which is just an unnecessary hassle in a hotel for a business trip

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT

Upon walking in to the foyer it is very evident that this hotel used to be grand and glamorous. The foyer area is dated but well maintained. We had to change bedrooms three times until we found a room with an air con that worked well enough. However, the renovated room was very pleasant and the mattress comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and helpful—no fault there at all! However, the prices of things is outrageous. A buffet breakfast is $32.00 and buffet dinner is $37.00. If you need things done in the business center I suggest you try to have all that work done before you arrive. Just to copy one page is $1.00. Other areas such as the gym, sauna, and pool area left a bad taste in our mouths so much so that we didn’t use these facilities. They were outdated and run down and need serious updates and repair. The food was excellent, just a bit pricey. Will we return to Rainbow Towers? Mmm, I’m not sure, it depends on whether they up their game and give you the product you pay for.
