Guest reviews for Hotel Realm

2 out of 5
The area was nice, the pool was nice although you had to book a time in to use it. The service desk and hotel lobby were impressive. However, my room's shower had issues and overflowing, the room felt grimy and dirty with hand prints on bench and blood or some substance on the picture on the wall. Uncomfortable. In addition, I thought I was paying in Aussie dollars, but only after I paid for the hotel, there was a tiny disclaimer that I paid in USD. I contacted Travelocity and their reply was that I should know that the $ is an international symbol for USD. As a result, I ended up paying way more than I could afford and had no groceries for my kids for the week and unable to pay school fees. I will never use Travelocity again.

Hello Reyna,Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback is important to us, especially regarding areas of improvement. I am glad you found our Hotel areas nice and enjoyed the pool despite having to book. I am disappointed to hear about your experience with the cleanliness and maintenance of the room. This certainly is not the standard we strive to provide and I will ensure to discuss this with our teams so we can continue to improve. I apologize you had difficulty with your booking on Travelocity, if you contact them directly I hope they are able to assist you. Hopefully, we have the opportunity to welcome you back!Kind Regards,Tess McLaughlinAssistant Front Office Manager
