Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The room was lovely and comfortable, and the bathroom had a great shower. The only complaint about the room was that the fridge made a weird clicking noise throughout the night. Our main issue with our stay was the lack of friendly service at check-in, as the man didn't tell us about the hotel's facilities or even seemed interested in talking to us. The young woman who served us at the bar that night was equally flat in her customer service. Thankfully, the lady checking us out the next day was friendly and conversational. It would also be helpful to know the price of parking your car at the hotel when you're booking, as we were blindsided by the cost when checking in.

Disappointing customer service
Disappointed with the Novotel on this occasion. After staying numerous times before with no issues I arrived at 9pm for my stay to be told there was no booking even though I had the confirmation in my hand, then after some looking around on their system they found the booking stating a system error. No real apologies. Bed was super comfy and room was great. Next morning I was unable to have a shower as there was no hot water, so no shower before a day of meetings. I advised the front desk and there was no support, no offer of using a shower in another room or anything. Very disappointing stay this time.
