Treated us like criminals
We booked a 'luxury' apartment in Cannes through Immogroom from 15th to 18th February 2025. On booking we stipulated a late checkout, as we were working there and had conferences running into the afternoon. We were told this would be no problem. On checkin we again reiterated our request and were told once again that this was no problem and that we simply had to let the agency know the day before and it would all be organised. But when we did this, we were told that the apartment was required at 11am and that we had to move out. Considering we had arranged work conferences already, on the assumption that late checkout was 'no problem', this was unacceptable. Unfortunately, the Immogroom agency made no attempt to find a solution for us, beyond 'leaving your bags at our office'. The office is 10 minutes' walk away without meeting space. They also offered this, rather sarcastically, free of charge! Then they ended the call. When we didn't move out at 11am, their representatives attempted to gain entry to the apartment using their own keys and stood with their feet in the door. Then they threatened to call the police! Never have my wife or myself been treated like this as paying customers in a luxury holiday rental. We were truly shocked.
Eventually the company sent a representative who was more professional, and he (Etienne) offered us anther apartment in the building to complete our work conferences. If this had ben offered in the first place, then everything would have been fine, but the unprofessionalism of the other staff completed ruined our stay.
We are regular visitors to Cannes, both for work and pleasure. We have stayed in all sorts of accommodation, from hotels to apartments and have always been happy with the level of service.
The Immogroom Agency offerings are substandard and their level of service completely unacceptable and a blot on the Cannes accommodation offerings.
Separate entry
On a separate note, the apartments (very well located on the seafront) are billed as 'luxury', with correspondingly high prices. On the surface they look OK, but look deeper, and they quickly look cheap, and the standard of cleaning is poor. The apartment we stayed in was above a restaurant, whose extractor fan was right below the balcony, causing an industrial 'humming' noise throughout the living areas.
