Greene King - accommodation in Wakefield

The hotel overall was really nice and aesthetically pleasing. We didn’t get to try the restaurants unfortunately, but they looked lovely. My only two complaints were 1) the room was freezing and didn’t warm up at all, even with the temperature set to the highest, and 2) our checkout experience. We got back to the hotel very late after being out for the night (around 6am) and didn’t get to sleep until 7:30, so we missed our alarm, completely our own fault. However, a staff member knocked (the same staff member that checked me in, on my own at 5pm) and then let himself into the room before I could even get out of bed to answer. As I had checked in alone, he had no way of knowing who was inside, which made it feel very inappropriate. He could also see we hadn’t checked out yet, and I had a DND sign on the door. He didn’t apologise either. I apologised and explained we had overslept and would be 10 minutes, but he knocked again shortly after, which was frustrating while I was rushing. When I mentioned I was tidying up, he said, “that’s what the cleaners are for.” I understand that, but there was rubbish everywhere and it was very untidy and I would never leave a room messy regardless. I would stay here again, but staff should not enter rooms when guests haven’t checked out. It felt unprofessional, and I’ve never experienced this anywhere else.

Stayed on numerous occasions. Great little hotel… clean rooms, comfortable beds, good food and overall lovely atmosphere. Will stay again.
