Garnier · 5/10

The young lady that I spoke to at the reception desk when I went to complain about the way I was told about the fact that their reception desk closed at 4 pm and that I had to pay a deposit by credit card over the phone and the only way I could get access to the keys was by email after closing time. She told me that was not the policy and that I should have been told the code for the lockbox over the phone. She was very pleasant to deal with. Staff training needs to be better.

The condition of the room is very poor. TV not working due to the antenna not connected, ceiling fan not working, wall in the bathroom patched with duct tape, knob on shower tap fell off.

Was quite close to the esplanade, but next to a sex shop and backpackers hotel close where they were smoking marijuana.

Unsafe, unclean, poorly organized, insecure, unsanitary.

Receptionist was very rude - both over the phone when he called to demand a $100 room deposit prior to arrival. Also on arrival, he was blunt/rude and made it very clear that he was awaiting our arrival so that he could go home. Room had dead bugs on the floor and felt dirty. Sheets were very old and thin.
