I recently stayed at Delta Hotels Bristol and had a mixed experience.
The Good:
Check-in was quick and easy, and the front desk staff was friendly. The lobby was clean, spacious, and upscale, giving a great first impression. The walk to our room (#207) was easy, and the hallways smelled fresh. Our room was spotless, with comfortable bedding, well-kept furniture, and a mattress that gave a great night’s sleep. The bathroom was nearly spotless, with plenty of hot water and no mildew in the shower. I appreciated the two complimentary bottles of water and the strong WiFi connection.
The Not-So-Good:
There’s no complimentary breakfast unless you have status for the 10th floor. There was no microwave in the room — I had to request one, which took 30–45 minutes to arrive, and I had to rearrange furniture to make it fit. The toilet was uncomfortably low with a weak flush, making it impractical for elderly guests. I've never seen a toilet so low to the floor! The water pressure in the shower was terrible. It took twice as long to rinse shampoo out of your hair. I requested extra Towels and housekeeping services on my reservation and we didn't receive either. Therefore towels were limited for two adults. The AC barely cooled the room, and the thermostat on the wall wasn't functional. It must've been for looks only. The TV lacked an updated guide that didn't update the two nights we were there and when we arrived, it displayed the wrong guest name — not exactly a warm welcome. Outlets were scarce. The ice machine was dusty, and many windows throughout the hotel were dirty. Our view from #207 was nothing more than a rooftop — disappointing for such a scenic area. Lastly, the on-site restaurant/bar had overpriced beer and food, so we opted to eat elsewhere.
Bottom Line:
Delta Hotels Bristol has the potential to be a top-tier stay — the cleanliness, comfort, and lobby aesthetic are excellent. However, several room features and guest conveniences need improvement to match the upscale image.
