Upon arriving at School 31, I was immediately struck by the architectural charm of the building. It’s not every day you get to stay in a place that exudes such character and history. The convenient parking and the hotel’s location in a pleasant neighborhood added to the initial positive impression.
The check-in process was a breeze, thanks to a wonderful and kind clerk who made us feel welcome from the moment we stepped in. It’s always refreshing to encounter staff who go above and beyond to ensure guests have a smooth start to their stay.
However, the experience took an unexpected turn upon check-out. The building felt like a ghost town, with not a soul in sight. All the lobby entrances were unexpectedly locked, leaving us to navigate our own exit. It was puzzling.
Adding to the disappointment, my security deposit has yet to be refunded, even two weeks post-departure. For those planning a visit, it’s wise to factor in potential delays with the return of your deposit when budgeting for your trip.
In conclusion, while School 31 boasts a fantastic structure and excellent staff at the front desk, the lack of presence at check-out and the delayed refund of the security deposit are areas that need attention. Guests should be prepared for a bit of self-reliance and patience when it comes to the financial aspects of their stay.
