I had mixed feelings about my stay. The location was great, just a hop away from the beach and restaurants, but the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. I appreciated the friendly staff and decent breakfast after a few bumps, but the overall state of the facilities was quite disappointing.

The room I stayed in felt dusty and had visible signs of mold. The decor was dated, and the window offered no privacy, which made me feel uncomfortable. The air conditioning worked fine, but I wished for a more thorough cleaning before my arrival.

The breakfast started messy but improved when I voiced my concerns. They eventually got my order right after a few tries, and I enjoyed a large breakfast at a reasonable price. I appreciated the themed dinner events like the hopper night, but it took some time for the staff to deliver.
Facilities

The facilities felt neglected. The pool needed a little maintenance, and some amenities like the TV channels didn't work properly. I also noted that room cleaning was only done upon request, which I found inconvenient.

I enjoyed my three-night stay at St. Lachlan Hotel & Suites, but it wasn't without its issues. The staff were welcoming and helped me with my transfer to another hotel, though the rooms felt a bit dated and could use a fresh coat of paint. The pool was clean and well maintained, making it a nice spot to unwind. Overall, I'd say it's a decent choice for a short stay in Negombo.

I recently stayed at St. Lachlan Hotel & Suites, and while I appreciated the spacious rooms and good location near Negombo beach, I noticed several areas needing improvement. The staff were friendly and tried their best, but the service wasn't always up to par, and cleanliness was lacking in certain areas. Overall, it's a decent spot for a quick stopover but could use some TLC for a longer stay.

The facilities were pretty basic, and the swimming pool did not look inviting. It felt like there was a limit to what you could do on-site, but the complimentary airport shuttle was a bonus.
