stayed for 5 days, the room was fine and location is good. The price is reasonable, but the major drawback is the man working behind the desk! He literally drags the rating down singlehandedly!
As previous reviews say, he is gruff, unfriendly and never smiles, and he seems to be there ALL the time
On arrival he just stared at me, no hello as you might expect, made a point of taking his time to approach. He asked me to fill an address card, I wrote it then he said "FULL address", I said it was my full address and he tutted because I wrote it all on one line with commas instead of 3 separate lines! Eventually gave me the key, no "thank you", no "enjoy your stay"!
The first few times I came in or out I smiled and said hello (you have to pass him), no reply just a (fairly malevolent) stare... It seems he really doesn't want you there!
After first day I took to staring at the floor until safely in the elevator, but I could feel him staring me all the way in! One day I forgot my key in the room and my heart sank as I realised I'd have to ask him for another! He only issued the key after grilling me that the key was definitely in the room and not lost- I felt like a shamed schoolboy being berated by the headmaster!
One days of the 5 he was off, and a lovely lady was in his place- warm, friendly, genuine... Exactly what you'd expect- the hotel would benefit greatly from her working more often
I wouldnt return unless i knew he retired- i'd rather pay more and stay elsewhere!
