I have a mixed review for my stay. There were some great things about this hotel. I thought the vibe was quite hip, the staff were generally all nice and helpful, and the food on the menu was generally good and high quality, but in the second day of my stay I woke up to cigarette smoke coming out of the ventilation in my room.
When I called the front desk, I didn’t really get the impression that they cared or even believed me, nor did they ask to come to my room to investigate. Their first solution was to offer the cleaners to come and spray the room to make it smell better, but this wasn’t a solution in my opinion. Instead, I offered to go to breakfast and leave the windows open with the AC off and see if it naturally improved by the time i got back.
After breakfast it hadn’t improved. At that point I asked the hotel to send someone to check. And they confirmed the cigarette smell and eventually offered to switch my room after I insisted.
This situation bothered me as they initially didn’t care to do much to solve the problem, or even confirm there was one, and I had to go out of my way to get them to sort it out.
In the end they put me in a new room and left me a nice apology note with a fruit plate upon my arrival.
Overall, some good and some bad with my stay. I would rate them 4 stars overall and would generally recommend them, but just hope you don’t have the same cigarette ventilation problem I did.
The room with the cigarette smell was 111.
