Maritim Park Hotel

I decided to book into a 4 star hotel on my stay in Latvia, as it was my first time going and I though I could enjoy the hotel as well as the country.
The hotel itself isn't bad, although I would seriously question that it would get a four star rating in Europe.
The staff are abrupt and not at all helpful, the Latvian people seem to be, so it is not a cultural thing it is the general attitude of the staff.
The bedding in the room was not clean and although the general appearance of the room seemed to indicate that it had been cleaned. The bed was full of sand.
The restaurant was noisy as they had parties going on every night and therefore it did not make a pleasant environment to eat in. Saying that the one positive was the restaurant staff were pleasant.
Overall I would say avoid this hotel as I am positive you will find better places in Riga to stay.
