Gino Seaside Tbilisi, Trademark Collection by Wyndham

+ The hotel is beautiful. The property is lovely and the proximity next to Gino Paradise was wonderful for some serious waterslide and wave pool fun! The staff were friendly and helpful. We also loved the way the staff treated the neighbourhood cats and dogs- always petting them and giving them treats and being kind. The hotel could use a pop machine but the availability and affordability of room service and taxis using the Bolt app made it a non-issue. The beds are comfortable, the rooms have a lot of nice features that really feel “extra” such as a heated drying rack, a kitchenette in standard rooms, bidet, and air conditioning. The swimming pool is nice- refreshing (read: quite chilly). As Canadians, we didn’t mind; we enjoyed cold plunges and swims even during a rain storm at night! The breakfast buffet is okay. There are a variety of items, but the breads and croissants are stale each day, labelling is odd, and there are very few things you would normally have in a breakfast buffet

+ Staff was very nice but this is NOT what I would expect from a five star hotel. Queen bed was a double, not very comfortable, no extra pillows, narrow rooms, forest view was a parking lot and despite paying a relatively high price for Georgia, breakfast was not included, and not very appetizing anyway. It was clean and well maintained but it was more a 3 star hotel than a 5 star hotel.

+ Wyndham should remove the “signature hotel” from the sign. The lock didn’t work on the door. There were crumbs on a table, dirty diaper in the trash bin. I always check the mattress for bed bugs, looked like years worth of hair under the mattress protector and a few dead bugs (not ones that bite people but still). It sucks when you stay at a property that advertises itself as something it is not. When you arrive you find it hasn’t been cleaned well and is years past needing updates. This is that hotel.

+ The sweaming pool was cold during cold weather
