My stay at The Houghton Villa was a mix of highs and lows. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and modern, offering a serene environment. but I faced several issues that detracted from my experience. From the cleanliness of my room to the lack of air conditioning during a heatwave, there was room for improvement.

The facilities had potential, with good spaces for relaxation, but it felt underutilized without more dedicated services like an on-site breakfast or maintenance of the rooms. Additionally, I faced some minor issues like locking my door, which highlights a need for better maintenance.

I had mixed feelings about my stay. On one hand, the location was great and my Deluxe Suite was spacious, which made for a comfortable experience. On the other hand, I had some cleanliness issues, like stained carpets and dusty areas that affected my comfort. Overall, it was a decent stay but with significant room for improvement. 🛏️😕

My stay at The Houghton Villa was a mixed bag. The bed was possibly the best I've ever slept in, ensuring a great night's rest. However, the cleanliness left much to be desired, with dust causing sinus issues and missing essentials like towels. The only staff member present was security, and I found the lack of housekeeping service a bit disconcerting, especially during my time there.
