We arrived at 3pm, the correct time for check in.
We have NEVER seen such a huge queue for check in and such a disorganised system!
People were checking in, no rooms available, people being asked to wait whilst rooms were being finished…. It was complete chaos in the reception area.
Surely a hotel knows exactly how many rooms are booked, they should arrange for extra staff to be on if they have special offers on/special occasions etc to avoid this chaos.
It took approximately 30-45 minutes to work our way through this queue to be seen.
We had 2 rooms …. Neither were ready!
We were not happy as we all wanted to freshen up as we were due out again in approximately 45 minutes for the evening.
The agent did a lot of taping on the keyboard, suddenly one room became available!
Not ideal but at least we had somewhere for bags and to freshen up!
Myself and one other went down later to see about the other room…. Again the agent did so much taping of the keyboard. No suddenly became yes, we had both rooms.
We were offered breakfast for the inconvenience… nice but not all of us could take up and couldn’t remove the stress of the whole occasion.
I made the booking, requested a twin room and a double.
We received 2 doubles ( thankfully my friend & I could laugh about sharing a double!)
Told to check in at 3pm not 4pm
I am on medication for anxiety…. This really didn’t help me..
I travel the world and have not once ever experienced such a shambles.
A shame as the hotel itself was excellent
