"I really enjoyed my stay at the Rio. I was fortunate enough to stay in one of their renovated rooms near the top floor, and it was incredible. The new soft bed, the room decor was fresh and the VIEW from the balcony was incredible. Breakfast on the first floor was very well displayed, and the staff at the hotel was very welcoming. Can’t forget the rooftop pool and restaurant. Make sure you check it out. I will definitely return."
"Call it being unlucky, inhad a bad experience with Bristol hotel. Upon check in in the early evening, I was given a room on the 5th floor. When I got there the room wasn't made up - the used towels, were on thr bed, which wasnt made from previous guest/s etc. Took photo and went down to the reception to ask another room. The gentleman who was there was very apologetic and told me that I will get an updated room as an excuse on the 10th floor. Went there, and again, the room wasn't made/clean from the previous gues. Went for a 2nd time downstairs to reception, where again, the gentleman was apologetic and I was given a 3rd room on the 11th floor. Went there, room was made. Went to the bathroom to take a shower. After my shower I got out and there were no towels anywhere in the room. Had do call reception and ask for towels."
