Spent the last 3 days there for one more business meeting. Arrived late evening for an early meeting start.
Rooms are just OK, not up to the 5 star rating (eg. no bath robe, fixed soap dispenser vs. individual amenities, Ikea style mattress boxes with sharp edges, hard mattress, etc ...).
The room was freezing cold and the fan did not work. Called maintenance, they fixed the fan, but apparently not the heating element as the temperature did not go over 16-17° for all our stay. (I could guess by the number of sweaters and scarves I had to keep on inside the room :-).
The toilet bowl was ... plainly disgusting, even so the next day after I asked for cleaning.
One of my colleagues a few rooms away did not have any hot water in his room.
We arrived at 7:30 in our meeting room and wondered if they mistook us for penguins ... this time the temp was probably not above 12°C. We asked for heaters and they brought a few, but it was not blowers, the room was really large and we ended up demanding another room as we started getting blue.
After a though negotiation, we ended up in another room with no windows - a real issue for a creative training session as it sets a low mood - but at least we were not freezing. Plus it really delayed our meeting start.
I suspect they had a real heating/AC/ Hot water issue at least in one of the aisles but they would not admit it.
Convention/business services was really poor, any simple request met with a suprised look and a promise to forward .. to whom?
Food is OK at both restaurants with a large buffet for breakfast and lunch. We had dinner twice at the more 'upscale' one but the Menu was the same both night with a very limited choice.
The only positives from this stay will be the gorgeous muffins of the afternoon breaks or free internet throughout the hotel (as in all Radissons).
Will I ever book it again ? NO, you get much better value for money at the Sheraton Heathrow.
