I have stopped at this hotel before and never had any problems, however this time was totally different. When i checked in i asked for a room facing the car park as you get a better nights sleep as the other rooms face a very busy road. Even though there were rooms available i was told point blank i couldn't have one because they were saving them for members of the hotel group, i explained i was a member but was told, because i had booked through an agent i couldn't have one. I asked if this was company policy, they said it wasn't. I asked for it to be put in writing why i was refused but that was declined, needless to say i had a very poor night's sleep and to add salt to the wound i was placed in a room over looking the rubbish collection area, so even if i wanted to open the window i couldn't because of the smell. I really hope this is a one off because as i said earlier i have had no problems before. thanks Amanda the receptionist for a very unpleasant stay.
