I don’t usually write negative reviews, but I feel this experience is worth sharing—so you can be the judge.
The Good:
The hotel’s location is great—centrally located and within walking distance of many attractions. The pool and gym were both very nice and well-maintained. They also offer a secure luggage storage area, which was helpful when we arrived early.
The Bad:
We arrived at the hotel around 1 p.m. and asked about the possibility of an early check-in. The front desk agent told us that the room wasn’t clean yet, which I completely understood. She assured us she’d text when the room was ready, so we stored our bags and went downtown.
We returned around 3 p.m., and she again said the room wasn’t ready. I politely asked if we could sit by the pool while waiting, and she said that was fine. So far, no issues.
At 4 p.m. (official check-in time), I went to the room—and found the housekeeping staff still cleaning it. I went back down and told the same front desk agent.
