Great customer service. The only thing was the shower didn’t have a sliding door so half of the shower was exposed. The bathroom heater did not work. I traveled in the winter so it was pretty freezing in the bathroom.

Gave me a room right next to elevator, you can’t even close your eyes and have some rest, they agreed to change it next day, the other room had the most annoying noise from the heater and the ceiling. The whole hotel needs maintenance. Location was good. But will never come back to this hotel.

It was a nightmare! When we checked-in, the carpet in our room was all wet and the water of the sink was closed, and that wasn't the worst. We paid a lot of money to stay here and we didn' have hot water on any day.There were days when we couldn’t shower at all, and on other days the water seemed like it might start warming up, but then turned cold again, forcing us to jump out of the shower. We reported this twice to the front desk and they sent maintenance staff but nothing was ever resolved. The maintenance person said the problem was due to the boilers being replaced, but that wasn't our problem. He also said that it might be because too many guests were showering at the same time, but again, not our problem. We checked in on a Monday. Saturday night, after many days of not being able to shower properly, we were finally offered a room change, but there were no rooms available. We were told that if a room opened up, they would let us know. Then, the next morning, despite having the “Do Not Disturb” sign on our door and without any previous notice that a room was available, someone came and woke us up, saying that if we wanted to move rooms, we had to do it right then. We were asleep, not dressed, and hadn’t packed, so of course, we had to decline. We sent our written complain to the both the hotel and the company that owns it, but they didn't respond.
