City Lodge blues

The room itself was very comfortable, clean and modern. BUT two things which did not impress me at all: we were on the 1st floor and there was no lift so we had to lug heavy suitcases up the stairs. At the age of 72, that is not a welcome predicament when you have been travelling all day. Then, the window looked out on to a pitched roof.. not far away but right there outside my window. That gave me the impression that booking through Hotels.com does not guarantee a decent room but guests are assinef any old room. AS AN INTERNATIONAL VISITOR I WAS NOT HAPPY. My money and my booking is the same supposedly as anyone els BUT..... Maybe the hotel needs to be reminded.
