Pros:

Rooms are big sized

Cons:

For the cost we paid around $300 per night we were expecting it to be 3 star hotel, but it was a disappointment everything was pretty old and falling apart in the deluxe rooms . Basic cold breakfast , might not return here .

Overall stay 2.5 out 5 stars.
Pros:

Overall, Hotel Lydia was an okay stay, but there were several disappointing aspects of our visit. The cleanliness was acceptable, but the breakfast was not what I expected. It was advertised as breakfast, but it only consisted of cold items and did not feel like a true continental breakfast.

Cons:

The front desk staff were not very friendly or welcoming. They seemed more focused on rushing guests through check-in rather than providing information about the hotel or making us feel comfortable. Since we stayed in the older facility, it would have been helpful if someone had taken the time to explain the amenities, layout, or any important details about the property.

I came to celebrate my child’s birthday, and unfortunately the overall experience felt impersonal. It seemed like nobody really cared about making our stay special or ensuring we felt welcomed. While the hotel was adequate, the customer service left a lot to be desired.

Great hotel, disappointing booking dispute
Pros:

The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The front desk staff were friendly, understanding, and did their best to assist when I explained the duplicate reservation issue.

Cons:

My concern is not with Hotel Lydia itself but with the handling of my duplicate reservation through Booking.com and OYO. I requested cancellation of the duplicate room within minutes of booking, but weeks later the issue remains unresolved despite multiple calls and emails. Booking.com continues to state they are waiting for a response while additional payments remain scheduled. I hope this matter is resolved promptly because my experience at the hotel itself was positive.

Para el precio debería tener todo al 100
Pros:

Muy limpio, olía muy bien, la cama muy cómoda!

Cons:

No tenían máquina de hielo, en ninguno de los dos edificios, según hacía 6 meses que se descompuso y no la han podido reemplazar, el desayuno solo dura dos horas de 6 a 8 am, y es muy básico café, fruta, cereal.Te ponen en la foto el nuevo edificio y cuando llegas tu reservación es en el viejo edificio y te dicen que si quieres en el nuevo edifico son 45 dlls más.
