We've travelled all over the world and stayed in more than 500 hotels, yet I’ve never had to do as much talking and explaining as I did at this one. From the moment we checked in, it was a disaster. Despite reserving a double room, we were allocated twin beds, and the hotel insisted that bed type was “subject to availability.” My attempt to explain that a pre-booked room type should be guaranteed was completely ignored.
After a back-breaking, uncomfortable sleep, we went for breakfast, only to be challenged repeatedly that we hadn’t paid for it. I explained, again and again, that my booking was breakfast inclusive, but the receptionist argued that because my reservation said “3 meals breakfast” without the word “included,” it didn’t count. It took long frustrating hours and multiple explanations before they finally admitted it was their mistake.
When we checked out, we informed the morning receptionist and, with his permission, left our car in the hotel car park for a couple of hours. Upon returning, a different receptionist insisted we hadn’t checked out and demanded extra payment for a “late checkout.” Fortunately, the morning receptionist was still there to confirm we had indeed checked out on time.
To top it off, the car park was a nightmare, narrow, steep, and chaotic. Cars got stuck on the ramp, tickets didn’t scan properly, and it was nearly impossible to drive in or out.
After paying nearly $600 for one night, this was by far the worst value and most stressful hotel experience I’ve ever had.
