Here’s your review tailored specifically for Expedia, within their 1500-character limit and style: ⸻ Not Worth the Price – Disappointing Stay We stayed at Novotel for 7 nights in a “Deluxe Sea View” room on Level 18. The view was okay, but there was nothing deluxe about the room—just laminated flooring. Definitely not worth the extra cost. The hotel overall is very dated and in desperate need of an upgrade. It’s marketed as 4-star, but aside from the location, it’s more like a 3-star property. Noise from nearby nightclubs was a big issue—music blasted until 4 AM. After a few sleepless nights, we requested a move and were placed on Level 35, which was quieter, but the room was still tired and outdated. We were also disappointed to learn (only 3 days before departure) that the pool was closed during the day for renovations. If we had known earlier, we would’ve booked elsewhere. The included breakfast was not great—everything was Luke-warm at best - limited options and not worth the price. There are plenty of great cafes along the waterfront just a short walk away, offering much better food and value. On a positive note, the staff were excellent—friendly, helpful, and professional. They’re doing their best and really holding the hotel’s reputation together It’s unlikely we’d stay here again

Issues Encountered During My Recent Stay

Firstly prior to my check-in, I received communication stating that the parking fee would be $20. However, upon my arrival, I was charged $25 instead. When I inquired about the difference, I was informed that the parking fee had been increased some time ago and that the previous rate was no longer applicable. While I understand that pricing adjustments are sometimes necessary, I believe it is important for guests to be provided with the most up-to-date and accurate information prior to their arrival. Receiving outdated information not only causes confusion but also affects the overall guest experience. Secondly, regarding my room reservation, I had requested a room with a bathtub. I fully understand that such requests are subject to availability and cannot always be guaranteed. However, during check-in, I specifically asked the front desk staff whether my room included a bathtub and was assured that it did. Unfortunately, upon entering the room, I found that there was no bathtub. This discrepancy between the information provided at check-in and the actual room amenities was quite disappointing.
