Rude money hungry staff with no empathy just a cash register. Rooms like prison cells literally with no windows. Nothing to do at the venue other than a dusty boring balcony, so you can’t even chill.

Not the first time I stayed at Hides and definitely won't be the last. I always opt to stay at Hides whenever I'm needing a room in the city area/s. Always my first preference. Although!!! take note of the times for free parking, otherwise that parking spot will chew at your holiday budget!

Our room was very dirty upon arrival. Our bedsheets had multiple stains and dirt on them…. When we went to talk to the front desk they said they had no cleaning staff available until the next day and no vacant rooms so they just gave us new sheets to put on the bed.
