Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Stay somewhere else
The hotel refused to provide airport transfer in both cases I requested it, and the gym is under "reconstruction" (i.e. not available). Rooms are dirty and poorly maintained. Safety was a concern, as well: the deadbolt lock didn't work and I even came back to the room once to find my door open, as (presumably) the cleaning staff did not close it properly. Not a great location, but it could be worse.

No frills, basically a bed and a shower.
This is a no frills hotel. I am not sure if it was a language issue or a cultural issue, but none of my requests were met. I asked for a wake up call. It never came. I asked for a taxi to be called, I ended up having to catch one on my own on the street. The hotel is a few blocks from an ATM and super market. Places to eat are a bit further away. Once I was shown how the television worked, it operated fine.

Hotel In residential Area
The Stay was terrible at this place. First it was written as Free Airport Shuttle. No shuttle provided. The rooms are very small and the Washroom is so small that a large person cannot fit.Two out of three days the Internet was not working. Two out of three days the Television was not working. The tap in the washroom was continuously leaking and they do not repair. Third Day the Air conditioning stopped working. After complaining they checked and changed the room. There there was no electricity for most part of the night. The Power DB for three rooms was in another room where a couple was staying. Later in the morning, almost for four hours, no body attended even to the calls that there was no power. Got checked out and cannot give me a Final Bill. They want to deduct the Expedia Commission and give me the final bill which I did not accept. How can I take a bill for less than what I paid? And no free shuttle to Airport also. They want to charge for that. There is no meaning in mentioning Free Airport Shuttle if it was not there. Totally disgusted with both Expedia and also the Hotel Stay.

I have been staying in this hotel and I raised so many concerns and dissatisfaction from the hotel with no respect to rectifying them. Several phone calls were made to Hotel.com sharing my concerns to 3 gentelmens with no corrective actions. I raised my concerns on the followings: 1) I have been cheated in the quality of the hotel and its service provided ( wi fi, 2 rooms connected doors or at least in same floor ( in mycase one room in 2 and 7 floors) 2) I have been wasted numbers of international calls trying to rectify the issue with no respect in clearing and respecting the customers 3) hotel dealing at reception was very poor 4) breakfasts quality and servers are very bad 5) I wonder how this hotel is been classified with 4 stars as stated during the reservation time by hotel.com representative and the same for the customer satisfaction rating was claimed to be 5 out 5 while in reality and when checked the web site it was rated very poor with very low rating To me if I don't see any corrective actions against the employee who didn't respect the customer, this is the last time I will be dealing with your company.
