A little disappointing
Yes I’ve had read it was a hotel and not an Airbnb .. but for us it seemed convenient for the trip to book this hotel this time instead of somebody’s real home as we usually do.
the photo’s of the hotel and the room in the add looked great but in reality it was smudgy and definitely overpriced .. we were put in the other hotel 32,32 across the street.. that entrance was nothing like the original.. and we didn’t see the facilities as were spoken of in the add .. - though you were allowed to go the other side for the bar ..
Hallways needed a vacuümcleaning ..
Room looked clean at first, but dirty curtains, smudgy edges, stains on the walls, let alone the view ..
What bothered us the most were the extra costs per day! I was expecting the citytax but ended up paying 65 $ extra per night - not only the city tax but also an extra add up for not explainable things … so if I had added that to the the original price I booked I would have had a different quality stay n a different place ..
and the other thing that bothered us was the smell of marijuana in the night which woke us up every night of our stay and sometimes more than once ..
Was there nothing positive ? Of course there was ..
