Chose this place the the web because of its apparent location and apparent and five star rating. This site lied about everything from their location to faciities and services.
It was obviously a large hotel once in the 1900s. Akin to Fawlty Towers the TV series, but sadly is not a comedy. Reception was an old trestle covered in computer leads and screens. Upon arrival, the entrance to the hotel was dripping in overload in dusty fake flowers and plants and when we finally got some attention from the person on duty was asked to wait. Five minutes later this person obviously thought we were in her way of something......there was no one else in the room.....but we never managed to raise eye contact or a smile from her.
After finally getting into our room we discovered the flooring was lifting (impinging on the door opening and closing)the vinyl top layer had shrunk from base. Curtains were hanging off the worn tracks and upon kick starting the A/C discovered not only creaky disturbing noises but that it made no impact on the temperature in the room. Note, temperatures were sitting in the mid thirties.
Dinner time was another huge disappointment. When told the restaurant would open for dinner 8.pm, at 9pm we were still waiting for the chef to arrive.
The waitresses had taken interpersonal lessons from the Reception staff. No eye contact and blank faces along with yes no answers...not a smile in site let alone we are pleased to see you here.
The lift worked well.
