Just missed
We stayed on a special deal at The Arden as we wanted to go to The Tempest. The hotel was welcoming but at the first dinner the waiter was not on the ball, assuming, careless and forgetful. We brushed that aside and had a good night and day. When we returned to our room in the afternoon the toilet had not been cleaned and windowlene had been left in the bathroom. Again we left this and saw a fantastic play in the evening. At breakfast the next day a waitress walked, at speed, into the jaw of my partner with a plate (I was not there at this moment). It shook her up, the manager got her ice, but the hit caused bruising and pain. As we left we saw the duty manager who said that we would be offered a reduced stay at any hotel in their chain, because of the sad ending to our stay, but this has not been forthcoming.
We say...
We understand the hotel has since been in touch and your return stay has been arranged.
The General Manager would like to reiterate that she was very disappointed to hear of the issues experienced during your stay. Their aim is to offer the best food, service and hospitality to all of their guests but it is clear from your comments that they didn't get everything right on this occasion. Please accept their sincere apologies for this and also be assured that your feedback has been addressed with their Restaurant Manager and Head Housekeeper.
Kind regards
