Who Unlocked My Door and Left it Open??
Da Vinci boasts, “newly remodeled”, I saw nothing that substantiates this statement. The room was small but the size was doable for a short stay. The bathroom was a good size but treacherous: wobbly toilet seat, no bath mat for the tub, hot water had a mind of it’s own, sometimes hot, slightly warm or cold water only. I got cold water only every time! The hair dryer work well. Carpeting in room was sinfully filthy absolutely disgusting. If they can’t shampoo the carpets on a regular basis, rip it out and install tile. I would rather walk on cold tile than a filthy carpet. Seriously I could have NEVER stayed in this hotel if I had a child with me. The continental breakfast consisted of coffee, tea, rolls, “packaged donuts” and sometimes croissants. Coffee was not hot after 8:00am. Mid to high 80-degree temps and the air conditioner was non-functioning, shut off at the circuit breaker. TV had poor reception with very few English-speaking stations. Housekeeping came only once on their own in four days. On our last day after coming back from breakfast and shopping we walked up the stairs to the second floor and found the door of our room WIDE open. The desk clerk went through the security video-tape and stated no one had entered our room during the 2 plus hours the door was completely open but she would not tell us why the was open or who opened it in the first place. We have not yet verified if any of our belongings are missing. Good location to shows, Times Square, restaurants and many other hotels. My next trip, I will stay at one of the many other hotels. Too bad the place has great potential but totally lacks pride of ownership. Two thumbs down for me.
