Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I recently stayed at North Beach Hotel, and my experience was quite mixed.
Pros:
• Great Location: The hotel is conveniently located, making it easy to reach various tourist attractions. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and Chinatown is just one street away.
• Room Amenities: The room was equipped with a fridge and microwave, which was quite handy. Surprisingly, the fridge was clean and odor-free.
Cons:
• Unpleasant Smell: The hotel had a musty, decaying odor that was quite off-putting.
• Poor Room Condition: The blinds couldn’t be pulled down completely, compromising privacy.
• Bathroom Issues: The shared bathroom window wouldn’t close, and there was no hot water in the morning for a shower.
• Noise Disturbance: At night, there were strange noises. On the first night, loud shouting, including profanities like “f**k you,” continued until 2 AM.
• Cleanliness Concerns: No housekeeping during my stay. After the first night, I experienced severe itching, and small red bumps appeared on my skin.
Overall, while the location was excellent, the hotel’s hygiene, maintenance, and noise levels made for an uncomfortable stay. I wouldn’t recommend it unless improvements are made.
