2/5 LF P. 10 months ago on Google
I
had
made
a
reservation
for
this
apartment
in
London
for
a
week-long
family
trip,
despite
the
negative
reviews
from
previous
customers.
Unfortunately,
we
were
unable
to
cancel
our
hotel
reservation.
Determined
to
make
the
best
of
the
situation,
I
called
the
hotel
to
inquire
about
the
availability
of
a
bedroom
with
an
attached
shower
and
toilet,
as
it
appeared
that
not
all
rooms
offered
this
amenity.
I
also
inquired
about
the
poor
reviews
and
was
informed
that
the
hotel
was
undergoing
renovations
in
April.
Upon
our
arrival
at
the
hotel
(June),
we
were
informed
by
the
manager
that
there
had
been
some
flooding,
resulting
in
ongoing
repairs.
The
entrance
was
in
disarray,
and
the
staff
was
attending
to
customers
at
the
neighboring
Sheriff
Hotel.
Undeterred,
we
proceeded
to
our
assigned
bedroom,
only
to
find
a
chaotic
scene
with
wood,
metal
pieces,
and
machinery
scattered
about.
To
our
surprise,
one
worker
was
single-handedly
renovating
a
ground
floor
bedroom.
The
situation
persisted
throughout
the
entire
week,
until
suddenly
on
Friday,
everything
was
miraculously
cleaned
and
organized
at
the
hall
entrance.
The
carpet
emitted
an
unpleasant
odor
and
appeared
worn
out.
In
the
bedroom,
the
beds
were
old,
with
some
of
them
even
broken,
though
the
sheets
were
clean
and
free
of
bugs
or
ticks.
The
bathroom
was
passable,
but
the
shower
had
a
feeble
water
flow
and
failed
to
provide
warm
water.
The
windows
refused
to
stay
open.
The
lack
of
care
was
evident,
as
poorly
painted
walls,
a
dangling
and
broken
light
fixture,
a
non-functioning
and
dirty
ceiling
fan,
and
a
shattered
picture
frame
hanging
on
the
wall
showcased
the
hotel's
neglect
and
lack
of
attention
to
detail.
By
the
last
day,
we
had
grown
accustomed
to
the
disorder
and
mess.
While
the
accommodations
were
inexpensive,
we
have
decided
not
to
return
to
this
hotel
on
our
next
visit
to
London,
especially
if
traveling
with
family.
