The pros:
- the hotel is located right in the center of Lodz, Piotrkowska street is not even two minute walk away
- it's fairly modern
The cons:
- the room was pretty cold
- they don't have the elevator, so you are forced to carry all your luggage from the street up into the lobby (2 flights of stairs)
- walls are paper thin, and my next door neighbors were pretty "active" at night, so that was quite fun to listen
- you get a very limited privacy, as you have to walk right by the front desk each time you come and go
- the maintenance employees are not considerate of guests who might be sleeping during the day; loud chatting, drilling, hammering, etc., was pretty common.
- there's a fitness club in the same building, loud music and bass from their workout sessions resonates throughout the hotel
- regardless of all the cons, on the last day I was forced to extend my stay, but they overbooked so THEY DID NOT ALLOW ME TO STAY IN MY ROOM. I was forced to find another hotel and leave, and I wasn't even offered any sort of compensation, not even a cab ride to the other hotel.
- I understand that the employees are overworked and underpaid at this hotel, the lady at the front desk tried calling another one of their branches, but she worked for 17 hours straight and I didn't even want to argue and pressure her into finding the solution since she had barely any energy left.
