You can do better

Someone should forewarn you that valet is $55 plus tax per night. That was a nice $300 additional on my bill for them to only have moved my car twice. Also was not able to order room service for breakfast one morning. I called three different times and had zero luck. Thank goodness for Uber eats. Lastly the Ambler menu was not very good so we ate at other restaurants for dinner. This was my second time using this hotel and it will be my last. The price does not represent the value.

The hotel was beautiful and clean. The staff we interacted with were friendly. HOWEVER, our room was very hot and stuffy. The thermostat would not control the temperature. It was also warm in the hallway on our floor. We didn't sleep well at all because we were hot. We had no hot water at 6am. It wasn't until about 7am that we had hot water for a shower.

So i want to first start by saying I stayed here the other day March 9th 2025 and I stayed because 2 years ago I stayed for my anniversary and I liked everything else about the hotel except the fact the plumbing sucked in my room and I had to dig out toilet paper with my hand myself to make it flush and because couldn't get anyone on phone to bring a plunger for it. I thought oh it's probably just this room that I stayed in, sadly not the case. So update to my visit few days ago I got a room with not only another toilet that wouldn't flush with several flushes and their toilet paper is 1 ply so shouldn't be so bad, this new room also the shower was not working I took a shower in 3 to 4 inches or more of standing water so after my shower had to wash my feet separately it was bad I have photos and videos as proof. The other issues were as follows............................................ Neighbors to the right played music almost all night and they were partying on Sunday and slamming doors it was so loud that i thought someone was breaking into our room. The music from the bar across the street was so loud could hear it with door closed. There was also construction workers outside til midnight however I know there's nothing they can do about that. I tried calling the front desk that night about the noise and the shower because I was hoping they could ask them to calm down or move me to another room and never was able to get anyone on the phone ever.hadmore2saynowordsleft
