Dissapointed
I am disappointed with my experience at Hotel Contessa. This was my first time staying and probably my last. For the amount of money I spent I expected more. The room temperature was very cold, when I called for maintenance I was told everyone was trying to heat their rooms and it would probably take two or more hours for the heat to kick in. The traffic could be heard through the walls as well as the other guests in the hotel. I was looking forward to a better stay because I had heard good things about Contessa, unfortunately that wasn't the case for my family and I.

The staff was great and very accommodating. This wasn't our time time at the hotel but it still continues to be one of the best in city. Very spacious and the rooms always have enough items for us.

6/10 Good

Not worth what I paid
The room was decent. The window facing the river was not impressive at all from the 8th floor, may be better on the lowest floor. Toilet ran the entire two stays, which was annoying at night. We advised the front desk, it was not repaired. The mattresses are not very comfortable and the room had two full-size beds rather than two queen-size beds. The pool is not heated. The worst part was the extra cost for parking, the extremely high cost was ridiculous. I would stay again only of the total cost per night is less than half of what I paid. I would have rather paid much less and stayed at a Holiday Inn, even if I had to walk a couple blocks to the hotel.

2/10 Poor

Not bad, but will stay elsewhere next time
It was very expensive for the quality. We’ve stayed on the Riverwalk at other hotels with better views. There is only one place to eat. It’s expensive and there are limited offerings. We could not adjust the thermostat so we literally froze and had to ask for extra blankets. Housekeeping was very very nice. The check-in procedure was messed up since there were policies and procedures were not the same as what was written on hotel.com so we ended up having an issue with checking in.
