The View Mini-hotel

I frankly hate this hotel. No one should ever stay here. One of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. This hotel is a medium-quality AirBNB in all aspects by the name. This hotel would be overpriced at $300 and my room was $1500 per night. You enter in a dark parking garage - it is scary and I was confused we were at the wrong place. No one parks your car or takes your bags. The hotel hallways are dark and very stuffy and frankly scary. My college dorm was much nicer. The room furniture is gross and old and marked up with wear and tear. The "view" from the room is just bad - you have like a view of the roof below and there are big trees blocking the view of the lake. You'd have a much better view from any of the hotels in town. The room itself has so many issues. Worst is the bed, which is frumpy and uncomfortable and I slept terribly. Pillows are awful too, and the blanket feels lumpy and disgusting. The lights are automatic in the sink and bathroom, so when you get up at night these awful florescent lights come on and wake up your partner and keep you awake. There is a step up to the bathroom sink that I plowed into with my right foot during the night. Insane, dangerous design. The sink turns on with these like metal knobs that you turn which are disgusting, just awful. The room service is horrible. We ordered fish, shrimp, veggies on the first night and it was barely edible. The shrimp was disgusting - like an amateur boiled the fish and set them down on some salt. Horrific meal. Easily the worst room service meal I have ever eaten and it was very expensive. The biggest issues is the inconvenient location. Even if this was a good hotel, it's impossible to get to town. Every other hotel in Lugano is amazing because you can walk to cafes or the lake or the park. But at The View you are isolated in a cave up the mountain, truly awful. This is maybe the most disappointing hotel I have ever stayed at. I hated it. The "Small Luxury Hotels" of the world brand should remove this hotel as soon as possible as it is doing damage to their reputation.
