Amsterdam Court Hotel

Location: right at theater section, close to my conference venue, lots of restaurants, food trucks, pharmacy, souvenir stores, clothing stores. Hotel provided Fiji water bottles. Bed was comfy, King size.

The room was small, couldn't even use the swivel chair because of tight space. Would've preferred a smaller bed but more floor space to walk around in. The window treatment wasn't working (can't open or close it). There was no coffee in the room or lobby at all. Such a small courtesy could;ve made my review positive. Lobby of hotel was small, can be crowded during check in time.Hotel was also hard to find: did not have a clear or bright sign - I just happened to see the double doors.

Location location location. I suppose price for where it was also.

The heating was out of control, was often boiling at 3am leading to no sleep. We had to use the aircon (it was snowing outside) Can’t imagine a summer with aircon as it’s so noisy. Staff didn’t talk to each other so I got charged an extra $100 on my cc for something I was told I wouldn’t. (which is being refunded, just inconvenient). Toilet also blocked up and flooded but they quickly fixed that.

The location was fantastic.

The staff upon check in were exceedingly rude and unhelpful. I booked a double room on booking.com, and they tried to put us in a room with a 38" single bed. When we went back to the front desk to say that thos was absolutely unacceptable, we were told that that was their standard "double" room and that "double rooms are not for two people". I pointed out that this was not what I had booked and that I was completely unprepared to pay for it, we were shown a slightly larger room, with a bed that was approximately a full bed, with a room that was a tiny bit larger than the bed. The bellman was honest with us and admitted that they had overbooked the hotel drastically, but the woman on the front desk was insistent that this was what I had booked and paid for, although it clearly wasn't. The hotel is also undergoing renovations, so at times during our stay the water was turned off, and the stairways were inaccessible due to paining, which sometimes led to long wait-times for the elevator. It worked as a touring base, but you have to get on well with your roommate as you have to coordinate who can open their suitcase when - surviving practically in the room requires being good at sliding puzzles, constantly shuffling rucksacks and cases to find enough room to get dressed etc. :-)!

Clean, comfortable bed, pleasant staff
