Over all it had everything I needed but the room smelt. I had to buy air fresher to b able to sleep on the second night. Staff were good but emailed me to ask for my arrival time to which I replied then they rang later that day to ask the same question then because I left nothing in the room they rang again to see if I was coming back on the second night. I had paid in advance for 2 nights and the key was not left in the room why would they need to contact me. I live just down the road n was having some painting etc done at my home so only needed the room to sleep in n maybe shower. I explained this upon booking in but I felt harassed by the staff.

Hi, Thank-you for taking the time to submit a review. We are obviously very disappointed that your recent stay with us was less than perfect. I wish to advise that if we had been made aware of the unpleasant odour in the room we would have worked with you to rectify this problem, even if it meant moving you to another room. I have followed up with the receptionist who sent an email on the 08/07/19 & then rang you on the 09/07/19 regarding your arrival time. She has advised me that in the email sent she requested that if you would not be arriving before 5.00 pm just to give us a call. At 5.30 pm she had not heard from you so she said she gave you a courtesy call just to find out how far away you were as she was due to close the office at 6.00 pm. She also said that you had mentioned to her that you just lived down the road & that you were having some painting done to your home, however, she said she did not feel that it was necessary to pass this information onto to other reception staff before she headed off on her days off. House-keeping did report that on the first morning of servicing your room that there were no personal belongings left in the room & asked the question if it was to be done as a service or a check-out?? In our previous experience we have had guests who check-out earlier than expected without notifying us of their intention to do so, so again we took the liberty of making a quick courtesy call to clarify this with you. We do apologise for any inconvenience and wish to advise that your feedback is valued & appreciated. Kind Regards, Trish Lindsay - Manager.
