I informed the CSR that the AC did not work, and he did not offer me another room to stay. I requested to speak to the manager, and he refused. He was so rude. He also charged an additional 15 dollars, but didn't explain when I asked. I ended up staying overnight without the AC. I am not satisfied with his service.

We originally booked a twin room, but upon arrival we were given a double bed instead. There were no room key cards provided, so every time we had to ask the front desk to open the door for us, which was very inconvenient. The Wi-Fi did not work at all during our stay. We also asked the front desk for clean towels and shampoo, but nothing was replaced. Overall, this was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. The experience was extremely disappointing.

The European female employee was incredibly rude when she was outside the building, but inside had a different persona. She wasn’t dressed like a hotel worker and was talking on her cell phone. I thought she was staying as a guest at the hotel. I asked her outside if the hotel was open because there was about 6 orange cones blocking the glass revolving door. She repeated what I said back to me and said what do you mean, is the hotel actually open? I said it’s blocked off. From the entrance there was no sign for the hotel, it looked abandoned. Nobody visible in the lobby. She aggressively pointed to the side door and said go through there. At check in she sent me to a room that when upon entering was occupied with the bed unmade and a persons belongings everywhere. I went back down and she gave me a new room and then when I got to my new room the key card didn’t work. What a stupid weird hotel.

No latches or deadbolts on room doors, didn’t get a key until the second day and had to be let in by staff to our room, which was complicated by the fact that many times they only had one staff member in the lobby at any given time. Never saw the same staff member more than once. Hotel had clearly seen better days, it looks abandoned from the outside. Finally, although I booked a non-smoking room. they just gave us whatever room had been cleaned, which had a distinct cigarette smoke smell to it—no preparation for any guests prior to arrival, and they took 20 minutes to even find my reservation. The location is convenient but if youre looking for something on a budget you’re better off staying in Jersey.

Unfriendly staff from the start, the guy at the front desk need to take a shower regularly, he got in the elevator with me because my room key didn't work ( twice ) at first I got an occupied room and walked into an older couple in bed (resting), the elevator was malfunctioning and when I told the receptionist that was unacceptable he simply said " you can cancel if you want " that's the " I'm sorry about the inconvenience" that's usually meaningless but at least it part of the protocol. The Hotel from the outside it looks like an abandoned property, no sign and the name " Romana HOTEL" is nowhere on the building, their room keys say something different. The room was ok and at least the bathroom was clean, at least the cleaning staff are doing a great job. Unfortunately I don't think I would go back to that place ever again.

It was a good place to spend the night with my partner. It was comfortable, clean and friendly staff. The only bad thing was that we got a room without curtains! We had no privacy, and in the morning the sun hit our faces. We couldn't sleep anymore. I feel like this is something that can be resolved immediately, so I didn't exaggerate in my rating and gave it a 4.

Not bad, not great.

Not bad, not great. Internet was very slow. I chose this hotel over others because there was supposed to be parking, but in the end there was no parking, and either way the garage was quite a distance from the hotel, and not free. I'm generally not a very picky person, but I would definitely choose something else if I'm in the same area in the future.
