The hotel is a good stay but I’m concerned about the way the keep and destroy personal data.
On checking in a was asked for id, not a usual thing but perfectly okay. The person on reception then tried to take a photocopy. When I asked why I was told it was for any damages. I asked how my data would be destroyed after departure and they couldn’t explain, they also didn’t seem to understand why I was bothered about it. He should me a stack of check in forms with photocopied id attached. They were just on the desk, anyone could access them, and bear in mind when I checked in the desk was unattended.
In the end I refused to let him take a copy.
It is unusual for a hotel to ask for ID, this is needed for those that are not uk citizens but it is not usual to them photocopy and as far as I’m concerned unnecessary as I can’t see how that will help recoup any room damage costs.
For this reason I wouldn’t stay again, I found the reason and process very slack
