Back to the Seventies
The recent refurb with the change from Radisson to Revere has got the hotel to 4 stars, but with some serious gaps. The theme is funky curvy which is nice enough, but the new owners Northwood Investors need to fix a few things if they want repeat customers. For example, there was a horrible smell in the corridor. I finally asked the desk about the strong vomit smell that seeped into my room. They explained that it was the wallpaper glue that smelt in hot weather. How about air-conditioning the corridors? I booked at a high rate, but was given a double instead of the king room I confirmed at booking. Why treat higher paying customers with lowest priority?? The air-conditioner in the room was on the floor next to the bed. It whirred and whistled and clunked all night, requiring earplugs that only half blocked the noise. It's just not good enough for $280 a night - not even close. The refurb was probably a cheap cosmetic job. Wallpaper is already peeling (despite all the glue!). Lifts were slow and painfully infrequent. Are they just trying to get the figures looking good for a quick re-sale?
