This was a very disappointing stay. First, if you arrive on a red eye and your room isn’t ready, the hotel doesn’t have a changing area for you to wash up and change into fresh clothes. We arrived at 9:30a.m from the U.S and our room wasn’t ready until after 3pm which would have been fine if there was a proper place other than a bathroom stall to change. The hotel is so long in the tooth. Old furniture with lots of conspicuous damage. Bathroom la have t been touched since the 1990s. The bellhop watched as we dragged our suitcases through the lobby and offered no help on our checkout. Lastly, and most importantly, the hotel placed is in an inferior room to what we booked on Expedia and blamed the error on Expedia for using a different nomenclature to theirs. They wouldn’t accept responsibility and placated us with “if we had a better room or the room you booked through Expedia we would move you, but we are fully booked because it’s a busy weekend - Wimbledon, Pride”. They totally gave away our room and When we asked to see the reservation record they had from Expedia, the Manager refused to show us. BTW - they are getting ready to undergo a renovation in September which might be why they are so apathetic and unapologetic about their bait and switch on our room.
