Value review insights for United States, Hotels

A very big warning against the Da Vinci Hotel, which will be quite difficult to find as their quite dirty old front is somewhat hidden in the quite dirty street they're located in, and doesn’t reflect their prices. In general, the hotel is nothing like on the website - while looking like a fancy boutique hotel on the official pictures, the lobby is quite shabby and there’s a strong odour of the quite distinct rat- and cockroach repellent which is being used in old buildings in New York. As the hotel has a restaurant in the basement and is old and unmaintained, the pests come up to the rooms and there was a quite large cockroach in my room. My room was their most expensive category and the TV, which I had paid a lot of money to be able to relax in front of, did not work. The hotel staff and management were quite arrogant about it, just said the maintenance person was “out of town” all day and evening - and maybe the next day too. A Wednesday in Times Square? Booking.com did what they could to get my money back from the management but didn’t succeed and instead gave me a voucher. There’s in particular one receptionist who's quite nasty, will speak your first name in a condescending way etc. Both receptionists were shockingly dishonest. Also, please note that unless you buy the most expensive category, which is often more expensive than the last-minute deals at the nearby Hilton and Marriott hotels, your room will face back walls and noisy restaurant fans, not a very charming situation. This review will go back on top of Google a couple of times a month to warn other travellers as I know how much most people look forward to their sometimes once-in-a-lifetime New York trip. Furthermore, many people don’t like to leave negative feedback or forget to leave it and just stay away. Do yourself a favour and choose any other hotel in the area. Da Vinci Hotel clearly does not deserve to be in business and probably won't be for very much longer. Give yourself a better New York experience than described in the above - You deserve it.

$100 PER NIGHT SECURITY DEPOSIT!!!!!! Since I was forced to pick from the list of hotels for the (money hungry) PBR tourneys, that are “stay to play”- we decided the Double Tree Hilton. Typically try to stay at a Hilton. However, upon check in (and NEVER ONCE discussed prior to, given a heads up when booking, nothing) we were enlightened that we had a $100/PER NIGHT security deposit, that would be refunded 3-5 business days after checkout!!! So on top of my obnoxiously expensive hotel room, I’m now told they’re gonna hold another $500 BUCKS! Completely unacceptable to charge families that INSANE nightly deposit— seriously Atlanta JUST STOP, we stay at Hilton’s everywhere- it’s a $100 security deposit every where we go. Your fees caused a lot of anxiety for a TON of families, that are already stretched thin getting to these tournaments. IF THE ROOM was glamorous in any way, I might not even have such an issue- But the rooms are CRAP! Tiny, musky smell, smallest bathrooms- the whole room ain’t even worth $500. QUIT WITH YOUR STUPID SECURITY DEPOSITS! Will never be back, and I hope other families read this and steer clear!!!

Lied about being a resort. Took the fee. No pool, no fitness, no bar, no restaurant. Just a dark painted barrack, next to Beverly Hills Center Mall. They give you a bath robe (to go where?). Charge a resort fee for that. The rooms are painted dark gray. Spacious, awright, but the only "resort" feature, is a small balcony. Horrible. Hallways are claustrophobic. No food. Room service? Fouggget it. Chipotle across the street. Parking was a nightmare. Small underground garage. Cars block each other in doubled spaces. I wasn't able to get any parking!!! Parked on the street, got up at 3am, 5am and 7am, to check for the ticket on my car. Horrible.

Our room wasn't ready when I arrived (an hour after check-in time). The front desk just shrugged at me, as to say "it is what it is". No apology, nothing. There were other people who had been waiting for their room for longer than I was. The room was finally ready at 7pm. Other than that, I feel like hotel was not worth the price. The location was nice being so close to the Convention Center. It wasn't a horrible stay... it just felt budget. I had the King Executive Suite and I've had better rooms at Embassy Suites.

Disappointing at best We’ve stayed at Best Western Plus locations elsewhere and were usually pleasantly surprised. This one? Not so much. While it’s conveniently located and airport shuttle is a plus, everything else was a let down. There is no coffee maker in the room although the website claims they have them. Nor is there a safe. The safety card says to check valuables with the front desk safety deposit box. That didn’t exist. The other amenities (shampoo, conditioner, lotion) are minuscule. I have medium length hair snd needed two bottles to wash it. Breakfast is lacking in that it’s not restocked regularly. Won’t stay here again.
