On check in we were given Apt 1A. This room is not habitable. The sofa in the main room has no arms or back. It is a padded bench offering no comfort. The showers in both bathrooms pour water on the floor with no way of preventing it. A mouldy smell filled the en suite bathroom, likely as a result. The front door does not seal and the interior of the apartment can be seen and heard from the hallway. After much consternation and discussion with the front desk manager, including threatening to leave, we were finally re-assigned Apt 2A which was acceptable. During the discussion I was lied to by the front desk staff twice. I was first told that there were no other rooms available (which of course there were) and then that the padded seating in all the apartments had no back or arms (not only did 2A have a proper sofa, but the ad on Expedia shows it). Although the new room was an improvement, it was in real need of updating as well. The furniture was worn, walls needed painting, many lights were were non-functional.
The room change took up a significant portion of our day necessitating re-packing, moving and being present at 3 PM. We were not offered any compensation for our trouble.
Not a good reflection of Derby Hotels.
