this hotel would have been highly rated, except that there was a strong smell of gas in the lobby. When reported, the receptionist agreed and said he would report this to his manager. When nothing was done on the second evening, we decided to call the fire department. We were tired, and it was late at night, and we couldn’t face looking for a new hotel, even though we were frightened for our own safety. The evening receptionist also agreed that there was a strong smell of gas. The fire department came and turned off the gas on the lobby Fireplace. The next day I was berated by the hotel manager, which seemed a most inappropriate response to our concerns about our own safety. shame on the manager who, rather than dealing with the issue told us it was not a problem and the gas levels were at an acceptable level. Is it ever acceptable for a hotel to have a strong smell of gas in the lobby?
