Bristol Hotel

8/10 Good
"The location of the hotel was great, and the gentleman who helped us check in late at night was gracious. We paid extra for breakfast, but felt like it lacked options for the price. Biggest disappointments were the lack of adequate air conditioning on days that were in the upper 90s (there was a sign in the room that said the AC could only be set for 9 degrees less than the outside temperature, which just really wasn’t sufficient in that heat. The other challenge was that the desk socket was so loose, none of our plugs would stay in, and the one in the bathroom was super confusing and I couldn’t figure out where the euro plug would go. This left us with only one outlet on the far side of the bed for charging three peoples’ devices."

"The location of the hotel is excellent - it is next to the train station Death Star downtown and across from the bus station (good looking bus station not NYC looking). It sits above a Starbucks and a restaurant. Keys to room and hotel entrance are on your phone so non-tech savvy avoid. Was welcomed with a can of beer and a nice desk clerk. Good “Swiss affordable” hotel for a night but probably would want something bigger and nicer for longer stays. Drawback was AC unit in my room wasn’t working (American in Europe in August)."
