The staff was extremely helpful and kind. The room was spacious and beautiful, Junior Suite. The only issue with the room was that the shower drain was slow and water would back up in the shower when in use. I alerted the staff, but it wasn’t fixed.

I had previously reviewed the property in March, to which the hotel responded and asked me to contact them when booking to allow them to showcase their upgraded rooms. So I did...... The room 'upgrade' looked pretty, was spacious etc but the same issues remain and the upgrade is a lick of paint and new chairs. The main issue was the air con - which a staff member admitted just doesn't work. They need to remove it from their amenities. It was 25.5 degrees in the room and they suggested a fan or opening the window. I ended contacting Expedia who managed to have the staff engage with me and two hours later offered me a different room (an un renovated room) which was cooler as the window was open but still no working ac. They offered no partial refund, just looked blankly. Location is great, but doesn't hit standards of other radissons.

Avoid this hotel at all cost. One of my worst hotel experiences ever. Extremely rude staff at check in and a filthy room that hadn’t been cleaned with a soiled toilet. Extremely loud AC kept me up all night and ancient bathrooms and fixtures worse than a motel. I never leave bad reviews but this place deserves it. I’d give zero stars if it was possible. Phone in room doesn’t work either to call downstairs and had to call with my cell phone to get WiFi password. TV turns on and off by itself. Disaster
