I didn’t stay in this hotel. I had a booking and when I arrived at around 10PM, there were many men sitting outside smoking. A man was summoned to the reception. Unfortunately, we could not understand each other, a young man who seems to be a guest tried to be a translator to let him know that I have a reservation. He acted surprised as if I was not expected. I was asked to sit in the lobby that is badly lit. A bit later, another man went downstairs carrying a bag. From the look of it, I got the impression that this man carrying a bag was using one of the rooms and he was asked to vacate it to give to me. 5 minutes later, I was asked to go to a room that smells strongly of smoke. I do not think they were able to clean the room in that 5 minutes interval. I went downstairs immediately after I have seen the room and asked if they have a different one. They said they have none and it is ok if I don’t take the room I was given. I would have not spoken about these details if the receptionist didn’t have the audacity to write that “the guest didn’t like the smell of sewer from outside” I didn’t say anything about the sewer. I told him clearly that the room smells strongly of smoke so I do not understand why he has to lie and make up a story about “sewer smell”. What other lies is he capable to make? Orbitz knows I have been to few places. There are things I just sweep under the carpet but I feel like I have to speak about my experience in this hotel.
