1/5 Haniya S. 2 years ago on Google
5-star
hotel
with
1-star
service
The
one-star
is
specifically
for
the
breakfast
service.
The
buffet
was
amazing.
Everything
else
in
Liberdade
was
not.
The
rooms
were
relatively
small
for
the
value,
and
the
appliances
were
subpar.
I
was
using
the
hair
dryer
and
it
kept
turning
off
so
I
called
the
front
desk.
Instead
of
bringing
me
a
working
dryer,
they
told
me
to
hold
on
to
the
cold
button
so
it
would
keep
running.
I
would
expect
a
5
star
hotel
to
provide
a
working
blow
dryer
so
I
didn't
have
to
dry
my
hair
with
cold
air.
Even
worse,
our
safe
had
a
low
battery
issue
and
would
not
let
us
open
to
get
our
passports.
We
had
to
call
twice
to
have
an
attendant
come
up
to
our
room
to
open
the
safe
with
a
master
key.
This
was
especially
stressful
as
we
were
trying
to
catch
a
train
to
Porto.
We
barely
made
it
on
to
the
train.
Amex
Platinum
travelers
beware!
I
booked
this
hotel
with
a
platinum
card
expecting
the
promotions
associated
with
the
Fine
Hotel
and
Resorts
program.
My
husband
and
I
had
to
argue
with
the
staff,
including
the
attending
manager,
to
receive
SOME
of
benefits.
We
never
were
able
to
use
the
$100
hotel
credit
because
the
staff
failed
to
properly
follow
up
with
American
Express
to
confirm
the
benefits.
This
was
after
the
atrending
manager
promised
us
she
would
followup
during
our
checkin.
It
was
only
on
our
last
night
that
I
called
Amex
to
find
out
if
we
would
get
late
check
out
that
they
confirmed
they
never
received
a
call
from
the
hotel.
After
the
rep
talked
with
the
front
desk,
the
hotel
finally
gave
us
the
$100
credit.
But
given
how
late
this
was
in
our
stay,
we
weren't
able
to
use
it.
The
situation
was
made
worse
because
the
staff
provided
few
solutions
and
kept
asking
us
how
they
could
fix
the
situation
instead
of
figuring
something
out
for
us.
Anytime
we
suggested
something,
there
would
be
some
kind
of
issue
so
we
ultimately
got
nothing.
The
attending
manager
who
promised
to
follow
up
with
AMEX
also
didn't
offer
an
apology
and
instead
avoided
us
while
we
were
speaking
to
the
front
desk.
The
excuse?
The
hotel
manager
noted
the
reason
was
due
to
a
conference
held
at
the
hotel.
It
did
not
feel
great
to
hear
that
our
treatment
was
deprioritized.
Especially
given
the
price
we
paid
for
our
stay,
and
the
expectations
for
such
a
reputable
hotel.
We
will
not
be
staying
here
again,
nor
recommend
anybody
do
so.
Spend
your
money
elsewhere.
Maybe
stop
by
for
the
breakfast
if
you're
in
the
area.
