We stayed here as we had stayed over a year ago and really enjoyed it and had a great time. This time we arrived late and the check in was a complete mess. I was told my credit card was declined. I had previously put a card on file, but not been able to provide it on check in, so couldn't use it. Then I was told I could have used it, but the details were cleared out. A manual transaction couldn't be set up, so I had to use a card that had lots of foreign charges. We weren't given any of the info on pool times, breakfast times and the social, except on the card with the keys. The room it self was fine and the girl on housekeeping was lovely, like a breath of fresh air. The breakfast was fine and when we finally knew there was a social, we went and found an assortment of food and drink. We had sorted out the check in with the morning staff, where is transpired no charge had been made to the card and the original card was used. We complained about the Receptionist at check in, after going down to complain about noise from the room next door, which could be clearly heard even the lift. We knew he was on speakerphone and advised the Receptionist. 5 minutes later, someone came to repair our phone. She had not listened to the problem. It was the same Receptionist as at check in. We saw the Manager and he said he would sort out the issues and give us some IHG points. When we checked out the bill still seemed to be wrong and no points had been added. It was only when I responded to the email asking for feedback that I was given the points and refunded £594.24 that I had been overcharged. All in all, despite Deo on Reception being excellent and the Housekeeping girl being like a breath of fresh air. We wouldn't stay here again, as our initial contact and check in was so messed up, it has put us off. There are lots of properties in the area to choose from and this needs to sort out it's act.
