Hotel Gardenia

Unfortunately, our experience at Hotel Gardenia was overshadowed by poor hospitality and maintenance issues. The staff, particularly the evening and night shift concierges, displayed unprofessional and rude behavior throughout our stay. On our first night, the older male concierge working the evening shift was dismissive and unfriendly when we asked where to buy water. Although we couldn’t understand everything he said to another employee, it was clear from his tone and demeanor that he cursed at us. The second night, a woman at the front desk was even worse. Neither of them gave their names. When we arrived with a pizza to enjoy on our room’s balcony—furnished with chairs and a table—she abruptly stopped us and yelled that eating in the rooms was not allowed. She went as far as to claim that we would make the room dirty and stain the linens, effectively prohibiting us from even entering the hotel with the pizza. This was an outrageous and insulting attitude toward guests who were paying for the room and service. Her behavior was beyond rude and completely unprofessional, leaving us feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. Additionally, the room had significant maintenance issues. The shower drainage was blocked, forcing me to stop midway through my shower and wait nearly five minutes for the water to drain to avoid it overflowing. Standing in the cold while waiting for the water to clear was extremely unpleasant. To make matters worse, there was visible mold on the shower glass where it joins with the floor and at the top. We have pictures to document these issues, which raise serious concerns about the cleanliness and upkeep of the facilities. While the hotel appears clean at first glance, these maintenance problems and the unfriendly, unprofessional staff made our stay extremely disappointing. If you value proper hospitality, functional amenities, and a welcoming environment, I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. Poor service, rude staff, and lack of proper maintenance completely overshadow any positives this hotel might have.

I made some mistakes with the booking -- completely my fault and those booking requests were non refundable. The manager there and everyone else was so kind, helpful and understanding -- they went the extra mile to help me even when they didn't have to. So, they really care about people and go the extra mile. I can recommend them highly again and again! Thank you!

Hotel was immaculate, super clean and walking distance to everything. The bar had amazing service and breakfast served in the morning was fantastic. But the difference maker here was the staff. They are amazing people and truly genuine. 🙌
