business hotel - not ideal for holiday makers
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/31/10
ideal location (would suggest you consider Hotel Windsor on opposite side of street as after staying at Hotel Brice for 3 days I regreted not booking that instead).
I booked a twin room and although there were 2 single beds, all 3 days it was made up as a double.(!!!)
The small fridge as obsolete(poor energy efficiency) and when I opened the freezer compartment door to check if their were any ice cubes it broke, meaning that the orange juice, etc in the fridge froze.
The air conditiong did not function, and judging by the reactions I got the 3 times I reported this I suspect that this problem was already known about when I arrived, or that they have ongoing problems with their antiquated air conditioning system (1 - said she would take note, and nothing happened; 2 - the second person came to my room on Saturday evening, demonstrated how the control worked and after I asserted that it was obvious that the air conditioning was blowing out recycled warm air, admitted that nothing could be done until Monday and said he would write this down; 3) on departure I reported the air conditioning again to the person who had checked me in the previous Friday afternoon and their non-commital response (i.e. not even the hint of an apology or acceptance that anything was wrong) could lead me to believe that she already knew about the problem when I was allocated the room).
Despite reporting this problem twice, opening the windows, and turning the air condition off to make the atmosphere bearable(so I could sleep) the cleaner switched the broken air conditioning back on while I was out so I returned to the clammy dense atmosphere one would expect with a broken air condition system.
I feel that this hotel is geared up for business visitors and would bear this in mind before making a booking if your trip is for pleasure.
