Rise Uptown Hotel has strong advertising and plenty of potential. We were especially excited about the unique touches that set it apart as a boutique hotel. We visited in February, which may have contributed to some of the issues we encountered.
Upon arrival, the pop stand was empty (no popsicles available) and the chairs in the common areas were stacked up. The pool was dirty and the daybeds and loungers had visible staining. The hallway leading to our room had carpeting that appeared unclean. Our first impression was that while this may have been a neat and unique place years ago, it now felt run down and in need of some TLC/upkeep.
Our room itself was clean and relatively comfortable. It was hard not to notice that it lacked some basic amenities such as a coffee machine and microwave.
We had high hopes based on the hotel’s branding and reputation, but the experience did not meet our expectations. The staff was kind and courteous, honouring our request to cancel some of the nights we had planned to stay.
