Disliked: Staff & service
- No bottled water in room. - Fridge in room was empty, so no mini bar. - A diamond earring was accidentally dropped down the bathroom sink. We were told maintenance doesn't work weekends. Surely the busiest times for a hotel are the weekends. We were told we'd have to wait till Monday, but we were checking out Sunday. My partner took the u-bend apart ourselves. Very unimpressed with the hotel lack of help! - Came back to the hotel bar at 00:45am for a nightcap. We were doing an early 'end of shift cash-up' so it was card only. We only had cash, we were told we had to pay the exact monies. - We asked for the night drinks booked to our room (easier than the payment debacle) and we're told they cant do that!? Ridiculous. - the night bar manager spoke to us aggressively. Her colleague asked "why you in a bad mood", she said that it was a previous guest who called her 'dumb' and spoke to her rudely. It was not professional to hear the manager openly talk about another guest like that. I was very unhappy with this terrible behaviour. - At breakfast the bread loaf had no cloth over it to hold the bread whilst cutting. So, multiple hands all over the bread loafs. Disgusting and very unhygienic. - On checkout, when asked how our stay was, my partner mentioned we had some issues, and the man behind the desk didnt respond and just turned back to his computer. Totally uninterested. A 4 star hotel with 2 star staff! This hotel is a massive disappointment and we do not recommend it.
