The staff do their best but they’re fighting a losing battle. From a hot tub spa which appears to be an actual health hazard, to spider infestation, faulty toiletries holder (resulting in injury), heaters I’d be scared to turn on, inedible breakfast and a failing hotel management this was one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had hotel-wise. On the upside, the staff were amazing and assisted me at every turn to the best of their ability and the evening meal was excellent. Booked the penthouse to find a spa lid which was actually green with old, established mould. Couldn’t bear to spend more than 8 minutes in it for fear of some infection. Couldn’t replace the lid because it was so torn & damaged and there was no frame for holding/moving the lid. No toiletries by the bath and faulty toiletries holder in the disgusting shower resulting in personal injury. Spiders at every turn - which I thought was just me until I read another review for the same month - it seems there’s an infestation in that room. The room heater was so badly damaged I was just grateful we didn’t need to turn it on. Not able to charge anything to the room, despite reception confirming we were on the system. Breakfast was inedible. Worst I’ve experienced at a hotel possibly ever. Though the staff themselves were outstanding. The night receptionist is outright offensive. Maybe she’d had a bad night but she was outright rude. We had a different room for the second night (hence the interaction with the night receptionist). Upon checking in, we were greeted with poo in the toilet and only one set of towels between us. Manager impossible to contact, after our stay - had to resort to emailing head office just to get a reply. I love to leave a good review and always prefer to report issues directly so that issues can be rectified. In this case, I was fobbed off and dismissed. I wasn’t seeking a free stay, just that issues be acknowledged and rectified. The hotel group clearly does not value its guests. I’d recommend staying elsewhere.
