At 21:30 I had just settled my 3 and 8 year old when all of a sudden we heard violent, frantic banging on the door. Before I could answer, two people let themselves in without identifying themselves. It took a couple of minutes for them to reveal they were members of staff investigating a leak despite me asking “who are you?” and on the assumption of them being staff, me saying “this is not okay” and “my children are in here”.
Both staff members eventually apologised but I just had to share this as it is totally unacceptable.
When I tried to call to ask if they were coming back, nobody answered. When I complained I was told by the receptionist they would pass my concern along.
I have stayed in hotels all over the world and this is the only time I have ever taken time to complain - anyone reading this should bare this in mind.
My 8 year old is traumatised. I am extremely upset.
On rare occasions staff need to access rooms, but you don’t do this by banging on a door, forcing your way in without identifying yourself or explaining before entering.
I strongly recommend anyone looking for a place to stay without wanting the “home intruder forced entry” experience look elsewhere.
