Hotel room was very tired & needed a proper clean. Had to open the window to let the smell out. The lift was not working so that meant that we had to carry them up stairs x

Unfortunately, the refrigerator in my room wasn’t working, and I wasn’t able to get an update on the repair. I was offered the hotel’s shared fridge instead, which didn’t feel private. This doesn’t quite meet the standard anyone expect from a four-star property.

The room was hot and small for 4 people. The sofa bed slats broke twice. We could not manage to turn off the heat or the sound of the fan and heating and as a result had a very low quality sleep in a hot room.
The rooms need updating.
The toilet had a smell of urine. It was clean, but there was a smell of urine coming from somewhere.
I also did not get my $10 change from the restaurant. That was my fault as I was distracted by my kids. But no one called after me to give me my change.
Overall, a very poor quality stay in Novotel.
The front of house reception was very nice and accommodating.

Tired and in need of a refresh
Second time staying here spread apart by several years. They have spent some time on the front of house experience and hallways but the rooms remain tired and shabby. On the plus side, there are many more eating options now than there were a few years ago.
