Top 3 worst hotels I have stayed in

Other than the receptionist and one friendly memebrr of staff behind the bar, the service and friendleness of staff was poor. No staff at breakfast, no hot water for tea. One member of staff in the bar was unreal - openly moaning about us because we sat at a table that wasnt marked as reserved but apparently was so she decided to insult us in fron of other guests - delightful! For the cost, below average decor & comfort, very basic and unwelcoming. Good location but its almost as if they dont need to try as there are so many tourists constantly booking. I will never stay there again.

It was old and didn’t represent the photos on their website. The rug in the lobby was stained badly. We had paid almost $400 Canadian for an executive king and it wasn’t worth half of that. There wasn’t any air conditioning and we couldn’t keep the windows open because of how noisy it was outside. The bed was uncomfortable and the pillows were thin. The include breakfast was pretty typical. I would not recommend this hotel.

Room was not ready. Told it would be shortly. That they would let us know. We were directed to their bar to wait. Which was old and boring. There was no one there to take a drink order. After over an hour we went back ourselves. The room itself was fine. But the lobby area was old and drabby

Great location but very noisy at night

While the hotel is centrally located in the old part of town, unless you spend more to stay on the river side, you will likely not get much sleep. The hotel sits on one of the busier streets for nightlife, with clubs blasting music till 3 am. This made adjusting to the time difference extremely challenging as this was our first stop on our trip. Parking can also be tricky because of the location. The rooms, however, are clean and cute. The staff are super friendly. And the onsite restaurant was just what we needed after our long travel day. Perhaps we would have felt differently staying on the river side.
