Booked and pre paid for room with king sized bed. When I arrived, was informed they only had rooms with 2 double beds. Was informed my room was likely given to an earlier guest that had reserved a room with 2 double beds but changed their minds and wanted to switch to a king size bed. I had already paid for my room at time of booking. Asked for adjustment in price. Was told by reception person (who was very polite and understanding) that a Manager would have to do this and that they would contact me the next day. No contact was made. At checkout, 2 days later, talked to concierge (also very polite) who apologized again that management had not reached out to me but would ask them to contact me to resolve the problem (make price adjustment and explanation). Still no contact.

We arrived very late(2.30 am aprox) the check in took forever, the agent was probably asleep before we arrived. I am a member of Accord and he said that the stay could not be credited to my account, because I booked through Expedia, because they had a better price. I will have it in mind for next time. I thought you always offered the best rate online. The hotel looks tired, the bed in the room was super comfortable as in all the Sofitel, but there is no consciousness about water saving, because our towels and linens were changed every day even though I didnt request it. That is very important for me and was very disappointed in that the management doesn’t enforce it with housekeeping.

There was fruit, food, bread left in a drawer in our room that had started to smell. Once discovered it makes you question the overall cleanliness of the room if they missed that. Housekeeping did take care of it right away when I called which I appreciated. I I was told I had purchased the upgraded room so my supposed “gold member” upgrade was not available. I was told the two double room is the upgrade.
