The Rendezvous has always been a "must try one day" hotel & I was so happy to finally give it a go with a 1 night staycation.
I find it frustrating however when hotels wait until you have made a booking and handed over the money, before they tell you "oh yeh, by the way, the pool is closed during your stay as we have PLANNED renovations happening".
The lack of transperancy of hotels clearly notifying customers of this BEFORE or upon booking, REALLY brings the overall rating down & also, makes the stay less desirable than originally planned.
They did offer entrance to the Scarborough Pools, which is a great back-up option for those willing to walk down the road in their bathers. But it defeats the purpose of enjoying an exclusive "hotel guests only" pool that customers love when booking hotels.
The rooftop movies were amazing, I highly recommended buying a ticket to that in summer, with comfy chairs, cushions & blankets provided upon entering the movie loung area. The security guard they have on for these events is also FABULOUS & makes the experience worthwhile with his friendly personality & helpful directions.
The bedroom was nice & clean. Besides a water stain on the carpet behind the bedside table, everything else was immaculate!
Bond was paid at checkin. The receptionist told me it would be returned the next day, but that the "computers/program" was curently down so it wont show until midnight. I waited over 7days for the return so poor communication by staff there
