Response from Management
Dear Christopher, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. While we’re disappointed that your experience did not meet your expectations, we value all feedback as an opportunity to improve. We’d like to clarify a few points: our team made every effort to be transparent about the situation, including the ongoing construction in the residential building, the parking situation is clearly mentioned on our website. We understand how these factors might have caused frustration during your stay, and we’re sorry that this led to a misunderstanding. However, we want to state that at no point did our team intend to be dishonest or disrespectful in any way. We always strive to maintain a respectful and professional atmosphere in all our guest interactions. At Locke, we prioritize open, constructive, respectful communication and aim to create a positive environment for all our guests. It’s unfortunate that in this instance, we were unable to meet your expectations and you preferred to use several sway words against our team in written in your other survey. We genuinely hope you find accommodations that are better suited to your needs in the future. Wishing you all the best, Sincerely, Team Locke

Hi Anna, many thanks for your review. We are glad that you had an overall nice stay with us and felt that our staff is very friendly and helpful. In terms of the balcony situation, first of all we are super proud of Nika that she made an effort to find a solution for you that was satisfying. You did book a City Studio River View, which you have been assigned to, the balcony size does vary but you have never been assigned to a "lower" or "cheaper" category. We hope this information does clarify the situation. Kind regards, Team Locke
