Everything was as expected which is great - the service and people were very kind and helpful. In general, we loved our stay. The big issue is that we found a tiny bug on my pillow two mornings in a row in the middle of our stay - we've now deducted that these were BED BUGS as I have come home with multiple bites on my arms and legs that resemble this. It couldn't have been insect bites from being outside because of the timing that the bites flared up. I will now have to sanitise everything. Please check your beds! We were room 1330. Not a big issue but we opted for a 'greener stay' which meant housekeeping every 3rd night (this 3rd night is mandatory) but this did not happen - we had to request house keeping after the 4th night. The only thing we saw that changed was new towels, sheets were made (not sure if changed), bathroom bin emptied and the shower door was cleaned which was lovely. Tea/coffee station was not replenished or cleaned and main bin was not changed. Not sure if that's because of the system or a confusion with the door hanger. I'm sure if we deducted the bed bug issue before we left and mentioned the concern to the staff, they would have been very helpful as they were great with everything. Overall a great stay apart from this one serious issue.

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.
