I don’t like to leave bad reviews…but I was so very disappointed with the conditions of our room at this hotel. I will say that the front desk staff addressed the concerns when we called it to their attention. But the fact is, I shouldn’t have to call to their attention that there was mold growing on the walls of the shower and there were no towels, soap or bathroom amenities in our room. There was some music thumping well past midnight on two of our three nights. And during the day the noise from the pool 4 stories down was very audible. To their merit the breakfast buffet was extensive, there was plenty to choose from, some of it better than others. The location of the hotel is convenient and made walking to most areas of Georgetown easy. And despite what others have posted, our interactions with all staff were good. They were pleasant and smiled when we entered the hotel etc. This was likely an incredible hotel 10-20 years ago. But is missing the mark by today’s standards.

The hotel entrance is quite hidden from the street and it was kind of hard to find. There’s a doorman who opens the door for hotel guests. Since we arrived early, we stored our luggage there so we can go sightseeing in the morning. The room was small but comfortable. The only complaint we have was the lack of bathroom supplies. The shower gel bottle was empty. There were no face towels and no vanity kit. The slippers provided were very flimsy and easily torn. We had to request for the bathroom supplies to be delivered to our room. The buffet breakfast was really good and the service was very efficient. I would choose a different hotel if I were to come back to Georgetown again since there are a lot of hotels to choose from.
