"My plug converter wasn’t calibrated to 110 so it burned my hair off. Only plug that worked for your hair blow dryer was in the room by TV not in bathroom. And cord didn’t reach far enough to see in the mirror to use it. Breakfast selection was really good. Staff very helpful and accommodating. Room clean and comfortable. Maid service great."

Apex Waterloo Place Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great breakfast, wonderful staff and really good location. My only negative comment is the pull down blinds were quite tattered and safe wasn’t working on check in but they replaced safe door right away and taped up blinds to provide darkness in room. They were very responsive to my room issues and everyone I met was beyond nice and helpful. The Scottish breakfast was wonderful!! I 1000% appreciate that they provided my requested room! Thank you!! I will stay there next year because they are such good people!! And good room!"
