Tired and in need of a refresh

Second time staying here spread apart by several years. They have spent some time on the front of house experience and hallways but the rooms remain tired and shabby. On the plus side, there are many more eating options now than there were a few years ago.

Hotel room was very tired & needed a proper clean. Had to open the window to let the smell out. The lift was not working so that meant that we had to carry them up stairs x

Unfortunately, the refrigerator in my room wasn’t working, and I wasn’t able to get an update on the repair. I was offered the hotel’s shared fridge instead, which didn’t feel private. This doesn’t quite meet the standard anyone expect from a four-star property.

4/10 Fair

The room was hot and small for 4 people. The sofa bed slats broke twice. We could not manage to turn off the heat or the sound of the fan and heating and as a result had a very low quality sleep in a hot room. The rooms need updating. The toilet had a smell of urine. It was clean, but there was a smell of urine coming from somewhere. I also did not get my $10 change from the restaurant. That was my fault as I was distracted by my kids. But no one called after me to give me my change. Overall, a very poor quality stay in Novotel. The front of house reception was very nice and accommodating.

You will NEVER see me again

Requested a room change because AC knob was broken/ripped off. Second room had knob and flow going but blowing warm air anyways! Staying all night around 90-95F, taking 3 cold water shower and not sleeping. You will NEVER see me again

Bonjour, Je voudrais souligner le fait que le choix a été porté sur cet hôtel de part son enseigne « Novotel » inspire naturellement la confiance. À peine arrivé, après 4 heures de route, l’envie de boire une bière s’imposa. Celle-ci fut tiède et surtout unique. Pas de bar ouvert à minuit sur cet enseigne, je l’apprendrai à ce moment-là. Cet hôtel est couplé avec l’enseigne Hippopotamus, qui sert jusqu’à 23 heures. C’est donc la première fois que je découvre un Novotel sans bar ouvert à toutes heures. Rebelote le lendemain soir ou à 23h30 un jeune réceptionniste, non seulement n’a pu contenter mon besoin en eau minérale, mais en plus à été, mal élevé, désinvolte, tout juste si il a consenti avoir à faire avec un client. Je suis extrêmement surpris, au sein de la chaîne « accor »d’observer un tel comportement d’un réceptionniste dans une telle enseigne. Rebelote également pour le bar de l’Hippopotamus, dont un serveur m’indiquera que ces caisses sont fermés, seules choses qu’ils puissent me dire sur un ton légèrement désagréable. Deux autres membres du personnel viendra à mon secours avec beaucoup de sympathie, et m’indiquera une fontaine d’eau gazeuse et minéral, ce que le réceptionniste aura été incapable de me signaler. Même si la chambre était relativement propre, un coup de frais dans les toilettes ne serait pas de trop, et, à mon grand regret, je n’ai pas eu le réflexe de prendre des photos, mais la bouilloire était franchement très sale et ne donne pas envie.
