I messaged the hotel via the Expedia app before my stay to request a quiet room. This was completely ignored.
Check‑in was slow and disorganised. 1 staff member serving 1 customer, 2 staff members serving another, and nobody acknowledging the long wait. When I finally reached the desk, the manager actually pulled the staff member who was checking me in away mid‑check‑in. No apology, no explanation, just walked off and left me standing there. Completely dismissive and unprofessional. When he returned, I mentioned my room request. It was obvious they hadn’t looked at it. More delays while they tried to fix something that should have been handled before I arrived. I did get the room, and the room itself was, spacious & comfortable,
Later I requested a slightly later checkout. The staff member I spoke to was ready to accommodate it, until an older male staff member overheard, interrupted, and shut it down. First he claimed I wasn’t eligible because I wasn’t part of their loyalty scheme. Then changed his story and said the hotel was “fully booked.” I checked their own website, rooms were available to book that night. So he lied, for no reason other than being obstructive.
The very high deposit taken at check‑in remained on my card several days after checkout, despite being told it was only a hold. My messages through Expedia and direct email were ignored until I chased repeatedly. Only then was the hold finally removed.
Rude, dismissive, obstructive
