4/10 Fair
27 December 2024
Orsett hall 4 star hotel.
On arrival the night receptionist greeted us by putting out the cigarette he was smoking by the reception door. Then could not find our booking as it had not been printed out.
When asked about our car we informed him it was in a ‘disabled bay’. We were allocated our room number 56 given the keys and told to follow the signs. Little did I know it was going to be a route march to the other end of the hotel up and down lots of stairs. Not good if you are disabled although there are lifts if you look for them. The room was reasonably clean but not as any of the advertised ones on the website. It had restricted head height with chairs underneath. The bed mattress was old lumpy and had springs “digging in’. The pillows were lumpy. The fitted wardrobe was dangerously loose and fell forward when you opened the door. The bed side lamp only turned off via the plug behind the bed side unit. The shower was cold the toilet was running water all the time. And the bathroom light fan was noisy & ran for twenty mins every time the door opened with no ‘night switch’ and had a light was hanging from the ceiling. The receptionist when we pointed out the problems was polite stating that she would inform her manager and that they would be in touch. (Still waiting at time of writing this.)
