I've been staying at this place for several years with a short break between 2020 - 2025. It's disheartening to see how this property has decayed (maintenance and service wise.) over the years due to obvious neglect. Airport shuttle service has declined significantly with the limited hours.
Things went downhill shortly after NH was purchased by Minor Hotels. I had the pleasure of experiencing this place in the years prior. It's how I fell in love with it. It's how NH earned my trust. I always seek out an NH hotel since I can count on the consistency.
The decay isn't limited to this property. All the NH Hotels I've visited are in disrepair. There's a clear lack of maintenance, upkeep, and staffing. This specific location (Raunheim) must be the worst.
Room cleanliness quality is in decline. The sleeping area and bathroom lack attention to detail. Toilets have yellowish-brown stains, bathtubs, sinks, showers have grime. Floors and carpets are dirty. Upper management must course correct with housekeeping, this is crucial. Public areas are in slightly better condition.
The property is due for renovation. Minor Hotels needs to invest some cash into this brand. Rooms need an update and the pool (at this property) needs to be restored.
My biggest dissatisfaction is the broken gym equipment (pictured). The same machine at each NH has been broken since 2017. It's baffling and comical at this point. Nearly 10 years with broken equipment. When do you plan on fixing/replacing?
