Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Perfect location, looks good from outside, however room had a huge red stain next to the bed. First thought was blood but more likely a wine stain. Lights on walls all damaged and hanging off and then no USB ports anywhere. Not what I expect from the Novotel brand.

Bedside lights not working
christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed 2 nights, the room was nice, clean and it was refreshing to stay in a hotel that had a shower that didnt flood the bathroom floor for a change. We got in later on the first night but were still able to get a really nice meal in the restaurant at 8:30pm. Our only gripe was the lack of a smart TV.
Matt, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was disgusting,we could smell dampness and urine , mould on curtains and in toilet/shower .complained 2 and a half days eventually moved to another room still small smell of dampness still not that clean. Should have moved hotel but in good area for us. For the price of hotel not worth it. Do have photos of grime ,mould and an inch of dust under bed and centimetre of dust on fan inlet.all in all bad experience

Paul, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was pokey, shabby and not clean .There was clothing left from the previous guests behind furniture. Bathroom sink was cracked, shower floor had hair left on it.
Robert, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Love the location and have stayed previously and had a lovely time. The service this time was terrible and exacerbated simple problems that could have been easily solved. A couple of times we were told (having arrived on Friday evening, that the issue couldn't be addressed until Monday. We were staying 4 nights at $200 a night, and that nothing could be done until our last day seemed ridiculous (couldn't fix in the internet in our room, didn't replace a phone handset that was broken (had to call reception from my mobile), curtains in the room with internet didn't fit the windows (too short and too narrow)).
Christina, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Hairdryer was not function normally and had a head that did not match/fit the unit. Spa not functional. Having to pay additionally for parking where as most other hotels include parking for free. Window latch not able to be secured properly, letting the cold in. AC did not work. It would turn on for a second and then it would go off.As result couldn't heat the room Restaurant chairs were all worn out. It is not what you'd expect from a hotel like Novotel.
