Disappointed with our short stay
We arrived at the Latham with an open mind after reading several reviews. We too, were given a room on the third floor which is the basement. We are world travellers and not too picky but being in the basement with no outside window was not pleasant. The air conditioner was very load and the tv was small and ancient. Our bathtub also leaked substantially. It was the lack of window that got us the most though. We were scheduled for three nights however at 10pm on the second night a worker walked into our room (yes without knocking) and said we had to leave as they were closing the hotel. We were a little rattled as we didn't know where we were going to go or how we were going to get there. Having no choice we quickly packed (we were one of the last in the hotels apparently). What we found strange having just arrived back after our day out only a hour before was that no one stopped us on the way in, no note or letter was on the door, how were people supposed to know? Also, we called for ice (yes you have to call as they don't have an ice machine) and spoke to someone at the front desk who didn't mention anything). Anyway, we ended up being transferred to the Phoenix Park Hotel which was great, WE HAD A WINDOW! It worked out for us however I wonder if others are going to show up to a closed hotel. Please check before you go. Getting relocated or not, we were not happy here. Contacted Hotwire and they have been great.
