After a few years going backwards, it seems this hotel took a new air (management) and is going back on track. The location is ideal, yet, they have to do something with the car entrance. On weekends the small street leading to the hotel is used as a parking lot for the theater beside and the cable car facility. Thus, it's a battle to go in or out (taxis needed to get us down one block away).

Stay somewhere else

Tried to check in early. They made us wait 3 hours, then let us check in early, but charged us a full nights stay! Why make us wait if you’re going to charge for the night before?! Hotel itself was nothing special. AC didn’t get very cold. I wouldn’t stay here again.

I've been staying at Novotel since they opened the facility about 5-6 years ago. Unfortunately, you can tell that COVID19 hit them hard: the facilities are still clean and good overall, but there is a clear decrease on the toiletries' quality and breakfast's available items. On top, this time there was a fire alarm at 7 am on a Sunday. Luckily, it was a false alarm, but the lack of protocols and even of a simple explanation by the staff was disappointing to say the least. Not sure this was my last time in Novotel.
