Executives Hotel - Olaya

Average hotel, large but dark and dated rooms. Very poor wifi. Very noisy inside, staff starts prepping the housekeeping charts in the corridor at 7 am, and outside traffic if you have a room at the front. Breakfast is good, limited options for people with allergies.

I spent 1 night here. The staff were friendly (and spoke fluent English). My room was clean an quiet. The wifi was a bit slow, and dropped out occasionally. Also, no power points near the bed, which was disappointing. Their underground parking garage was convenient, although a bit cramped.

The processing of my check-out from the hotel went rather smoothly. What was not smooth are the many obstacles I faced during my stay of only three days: -On the night I checked-in after an exhausting journey from Medina, I tried to store my valuables inside the in-room safe. However, the safe would not properly open and close. So when I told a front desk staff member about this, he sent a maintenance staff member to address this concern. The maintenance staff member noticed something in the battery compartment being broken but said the problem cannot be addressed until the next morning. So I decided to wait until the next afternoon before calling the front desk to address the in-room safe not working. However, the maintenence staff member that arrived then made the same conclusion and told me he will retrun. After about 20-25 minutes of waiting, I called the front desk again who told me the in-room safe cannot be repaired nor replaced right now and that I would have to change rooms to get a working in-room safe. I rejected this idea because I already unpacked my belongings and did not want to pack up until I check-out. So I decided that I would stay in the room that I am inside already. In exchange for this inconvenience, I requested that my check-out time be extended to 8:30 PM at no extra cost to me, and to my delight, that request was granted. But I still lacked the security of a safe for my valuables for my entire stay. -Also on that same day but in the morning, I tried to order a strawberry juice that was on the room service menu but was told that it was not available because they did not have the machine for it. This was a real disappointment but I then asked the what other juices were available, and was told a lemon/lime juice was available, so I decided to order two glasses of that instead. A staff member arrived with the two juices, which I gladly claimed, but when he asked me to sign the receipt, he did not have a pen, so he said he will come back quickly with a pen. He did not come back until 20 minutes later, and when he did, he had a card payment machine and told me I had to pay with a payment card because I cannot charge room service orders to the room. But when I waved my card over the device, the payment did not get approved, so he said he will go back to get another card payment machine. Again, I waited about 20 minutes for him to come back, and when he did arrive, he came back with the same card payment machine but told me to insert my card instead this time. When I did, the payment got processed successfully, but I am still upset that I had to undergo all those steps just to get two glasses of some juice. -Each day I was there, I had to jam in the keycard into the slot of the door to my room multiple times before it would even open. This was very troubling for me. I never had this experience in any other hotel I have stayed at in my life. -On the day I was to check-out, I had the most troubling obstacle. I was completely naked
