A Farce by American Standards
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/31/06
I have never been so disappointed in a hotel. I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world. I can say unequivocally state that this is only a 1 star hotel, at best. The hotel has been very poorly maintained. It is very much in need of renovation.
Also, the hotel is in a very undesirable location away from the center of the city; and far from Balboa Avenue. It is an expensive taxi drive to everything. Yes even the taxi drivers price are above the norm at this hotel.
The make matter worst, the hotel service is probably the worst I have ever experienced. The staff are not at all friendly, and everything is priced as if you were staying in a Ritz Carlton. And, trust me when I say this hotel is light years from being in the same class with a Ritz Carlton.
