Horrible filthy hotel
I have pictures of the bathroom in the shower how filthy is was, even after I complained. A piece of bar soap had fallen on the floor in the shower and was still there after 4 days. The linen was stained upon arrival and still there on day 4, which means that they never changed the linen. I was informed that linen was changed every 3 days. One day, the garbage was not cleaned up and towels were missing. Upon arrival there was a long line across the bathroom mirror that looked like toothpaste drips. It was there still on day 3, eventhough I had brought it to the attention of a manager. After I told them that if I was not going to be compensated for all this disgust, and that once I was back in New York, I would put in a formal complaint, I was offered a free drink drink at the bar, Starbucks coffee, another room for the night. I am not pleased at all and will continue my complaint as soon as I can. By the way, the carpets all over, looked terrible, filthy. There was no toilet paper one day. My dishes were still there the next night from the night before and that’s when I had enough of it and spoke to a female manager. I have names. I like to be compensated.

My party of three was denied a cot after being told there would be one in our room at check in. The staff was unwilling to help us, claiming there was nothing that could be done, leaving my friends and I to share one bed amongst the three of us for two nights. We also requested clean towels that never came, and housekeeping did not make a stop at our room throughout the duration of our stay.

We had a great stay at this hotel. We weee only in town for 1 night to see the Eras Tour and the hotel went out of their way to make it extra special for Taylor Swift fans. They decorated the reception area in sparkly banners, offered free Taylor Swift mocktails has her music playing 24/7 and even left snacks and bottles of water in our room after the show. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the room was very clean. Great experience and I would recommend them

Good location to walk to concerts at the JC Arena.
Went to a huge concert (TS!) and the location was very convenient. We walked to the arena in 3 min! So, the hotel was packed with fans, which made it likely more crowded than usual.

Disappointed
We stayed at this hotel five years ago, and had a good experience, hence the reason to go back to the same hotel. This time it was extremely busy (Toppers Weekend) and the experience wasn't quite so good. The rooms look a little jaded now, and although we were there for two nights, our room was not cleaned. When I pointed that out when checking out, the excuse was that they had been busy. Sorry, not good enough when you are paying £200 per night. The bar closed abruptly on Sunday evening, and I had to buy an adaptor to charge my mobile because the sockets had not been updated. A disappointed customer overall on this occasion.
