Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
No air conditioning in the room. The front desk person promised to fix the A/C or move us to another room, then nothing. We were able to get 2 fans to try and mitigate the heat. If not for security concerns I would have left the door open as the rest of the hotel was nice and cool. Open almost $1K for 2 nights for this!! Do yourself favor and stay elsewhere in GVA.

Great price, location a bit seedy.

Very well priced stay for Geneva. Lots of extras from Expedia thrown in: Free parking, travel pass etc, so made it a bargain. Lovely staff very helpful with reservations and advice. Underground parking available. The area the hotel is situated however, is a somewhat seedy. We felt perfectly safe, even coming back after midnight on a Saturday, however we did have to walk through the red light district, with multiple girls on the street and and very "ethnic" community. If ever visiting Geneva again, i would probably still stay here, just as its price is good and its all you need.

Everything was great! The young woman at the desk in the late afternoon early evening was so helpful and nice. Sorry forgot her name. My only slight gripe would be the rooms where very hot and the A/C didnt seem to do the trick in mine or my family's rooms. Made it hard to sleep. So if you like it cool when youre sleeping something to consider.
