Bathroom sink
My room when checking in was very nice However the bathroom sink had not been cleaned and full of toothpaste which looked nasty. Reception moved me to another room which was fine but in the evening the AC did not work…

I attended the Olsen on the day of my booking and provided my ID at reception. The person working mentioned there was no booking under my name and that there were no rooms available. I called the following day after reviewing my booking to see if a mistake had been made on my end and the girl I spoke to said that she had found the booking and would arrange a refund to be processed. She said she would call back the following day with an update after speaking to the manager. No one had contacted me and I followed up one week later and the next person I spoke to said there was nothing they could do. She said that I would have to contact Expedia directly to arrange a refund. I was disappointed as I had fully paid for the booking and it was due to their mistake that I was left without a room for the day and they seemed unwilling to assist when I followed up.

Fabulous stay. Great service at reception, easy parking. Difficult to reach by phone, difficult to connect to housekeeping and room service via phone. Having said that reception did eventually call me back. I would stay at the Olsen again. Great location.
