hotel pedantry

gah, i cant be arsed to type it out. i m beginning to think i m a pernickety bastard.

tell me some hotel problem stories and cheer me up, this ones shite [laugh]

errrrr, I booked Mr Mal into a London hotel which had a rubbish bed (like something from a sailor's cabin he said) and a coin operated TV. Which didn't work properly as the football park was pink. I wasn't very popular after that but it looked OK, had good reviews, and wasn't cheap either. I wrote a review but funnily they didn't show it [laugh]

Please be arsed.I haven't had any bad experiences to share, but I love watching The Hotel Inspector where the hotels have mould growing on the walls, and serve grapes and fruit shoots for breakfast.

Arrived at beach bungalow in the Maldives to find unbelievably noisy air-conditioning unit which had a steady leak onto the only electrical plug socket in the room!
It was fixed by 3 men with a ladder but was still noisy all week.

Share yours...

Aw, go one tell us then we can tell you if you were being a picky twat or not.

Edited to add, we stopped at place in Ambleside, the place seemed a little scruffy. The worst point was the noise from the fecking magpies that lived in the tree right outside of the window meant we were awake from 5am.

a coin operated TV? [rotfl][weep]

ok, the short version is that i just had a debate with the duty manager because her cheeky twat of a room service idiot suggested that i was wrong when i told him that the drinks in the mini bar were not cold, and he said they were. unbelievable. the twatting thing isnt even switched on [rotfl]

there are other issues too, but if i told you those you truly would laugh [laugh]

Where are you staying? Name and shame [laugh]

But laughter is good...

what so the weirdos of hitched could ring up and tell reception i m checking out? [laugh]

no chance. put it this way, a client has arranged it, and the client has a "strict budget". I am so not used to this [rotfl]. waaah!

I booked an executive double last week on line, but was put in a basic single.
But - the staff all recognised me even though it's been 6 months, and gave me huge smiles - so that made up for it.
All of the films were in Hungarian and German though, that was a bit rubbish.
I've just remembered I took a Kitkat from the mini bar, and it's still in my bag!!!! What a fantastic thread to remind me of it []

(sorry - is that insult to injury in your current predicament?)

[idea] you could write and complain?

a smile made up for a crap room. christ youre easily pleased [laugh] i d have been gurning and moaning so much i d have been in a suite before you could say "no english speaking staff"

The worst hotel I stayed in when it comes to service was when I had to go to Paris Disneyland for work and I had to stay in one of the not so nice hotels there. I had to go between the lobby and a wrong room 3 times because they gave me the wrong room number. And it was a long way. And it was all handled with French attitude. The room wasn't that great either.

I've not had good experiences staying in B&Bs and small hotels in UK, I get lots of manky carpets and musty smells which put me right off...
