Hotel Talisman

Hotel

Very friendly their goal is to please,was disapointed though upon arriving after a very long overnight flight to be told our room wouldn't be ready for another couple hours *yikes* don't know when check in is in the azores because the exact thing happened to us on our honey moon..I thought it was a fluke..guess not when we go back I will definatley make sure the room will be ready for when we arrive..they did however give us( my whole family came) a room where we could freshen up and place our luggage until the rooms were ready.

Unique Quality: Well the unique qualities might not be good ones but I've stayed at worse places
- no elevator you have to carry your luggage up and down stairs, we had a toddler that had to be carried up those stairs too..not good
-hotel parking was around the corner,well it was attached to a building beside it which the hotel also owns but it was gated in so we had to get the key from the front desk,get our car out,lock the gate,run back with the key and coming back from an excursion meant having to first go to the desk to get the key and driving around the block to get back to the lot..quite annoying.
-the hotel is situated right beside a park which is nice if you don't mind the homeless people who make it a habit of staying up drinking and singing all night.. we have to walk by this park to get to said parking lot and on more than one occasion was verbally attacked, once we complained to the desk the police showed up to move them away..oh and the garbage trucks run all night! at all hours my sister heard them dumping the cans..they don't attempt to be quiet at 3 am?!
-oh our shower leaked like crazy! there was always a pool of water on the floor
-my sisters room..the air conditioner leaked so they had a bucket in the middle of the room
-my brothers room the air never worked and the shower was aweful

even with all that my husband said he would stay there again..me on the other hand don't want to..yes it was a perfect location and the staff were friendly but it was too much nuisance for me
