Title: Why is Newport Bay Club Hotel only 3 stars?
Post by: andrewuk on September 29, 2009, 04:01:39 PM
To me it looks to have everything that HNY does, except for 24hr room service. Is that the reason :? ?

It is 3 stars due to the lack of bell services and room service (unless you are on the admiral's floor), no additional beauty or sports facility other than the pool, the fact you pay for towel, and the ratio of cast members to guests. Those are key things that go into star ratings.

The hotel looks nice, but in terms of service, it very much is mid range (think Holiday Inn, whereas the New York is more like a Crown Plaza).

Also the rooms are smaller, the bathroom is smaller, there is only one bathroom sink, not two, the breakfast selection is more limited.

Don't get me wrong, I love both hotels but the Hotel New York certainly has a higher standard.

I agree. And the beauty is often you can get into the HNY for a few Euros more than the NBC.

Apart from that I love the hotel although it is a liitle too big for me.
