Halliday D. Business - 6/15/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

I was attending an event held in this hotel and stayed for 2 nights. The room was dirty had marks on all the mirrors, the lamps were full of dust and the kettle was full of limescale. Asked for a hot chocolate at the bar and they didn’t have any. Also didn’t like the fact of that it’s changed to a cashless hotel in the last year, as I prefer to use cash and didn’t have my card on me. It’s ok for somewhere to put your head down and location as the event was in the hotel.

Dear Ms. Halliday, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your recent stay with us. I sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet your expectations, and I appreciate your comments, which allow us to identify areas where we can improve. I regret to hear that the cleanliness of your room fell short. Cleanliness is a top priority for us, and I will ensure that your observations regarding the mirrors, lamps, and kettle are communicated to our housekeeping team for further review. It is essential for us to provide a comfortable and hygienic environment for our guests. I also acknowledge your disappointment regarding the availability of hot chocolate at the bar. While we strive to offer a diverse selection of beverages, there may be instances when certain items are not available. Your feedback will be shared with our bar staff to better anticipate guest preferences in the future. Regarding our cashless policy, this change was implemented to enhance the safety and efficiency of transactions. However, I understand that this may not suit everyone's preferences. We appreciate your understanding and hope this will not deter you from considering us for future visits. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience. Best Regards, Denisa Lushi Front Office Manager
