Abalon Hotel ideal

Very nice hotel but the lock on the front door to the property was broken for several days during my visit and I felt very unsafe. The hotel is in an OK location but it used to be a bad neighborhood and my relatives were very worried about me staying there. So having un unlocked door was unnerving. There is no staff on site at night. Other than that: nice staff, nice breakfast, nice, large clean room with good light.

OK

I was misled by the beautiful photos. Nobody at the reception, only a screen outside to do your check in . We entered and I almost fell with a step down. Then the corridors feel like an orange maze with Linoleum floors that look dirty. We went in, and decided to book somewhere else and left. Lost my money because it’s non refundable. If you are on a really tight budget, the beds looked clean and the room quiet. But I recommend spending a bit more and staying somewhere else.

We had reached out to the hotel before booking regarding luggage storage and we were told that it was a service they offered. We were going to be arriving around 9a but check in wasn't until the afternoon. The morning of, we got an email stating that the front desk would be closing for the day at 3p. I responded immediately asking how we'd get our bags and was told "we'll figure something out". Upon arriving, there was no secure place to store our bags and rather we were told to leave them by the desk and he would move them to our room later. This was not a great solution but later that night, we did find they were in our rooms safely. The room was awful. A 4 person room for a mixed group of people had windows that you could see into the shower and toilet area!!!! I was traveling with my brother, his wife and a friend. There was also a lot of janky "fixes" to the room. A drawer turned on it's side covering up a hole in the floor to act as a side table. Thank goodness we were only staying one night but I can not, in any way, recommend this property. Even worse, it was the 2nd most expensive hotel on our trip and the 2nd worst!

It is a funky hotel, not sure about the glass door to the bathroom. Overall the family room was a great size. Possible security issue as reception not manned after 3pm and the gate off the street requires no security code to get in so anyone off the street could walk in.
