Bad check out time

The hotel is very nice. However, the staff is very inflexible. Check-in is from 3:00 PM, check-out is by 10:00 AM. I asked for a later check-out. They very rudely referred me to the regulations. They didn't give me a single extra minute.

Excellent hotel

We had a great stay overall with great staff both at hotel and bar. However,the Sunday hotel staff was very nonchalant and seemed unbothered with assisting us with anything. Eg,we got umbrellas from the morning staff without any issue as they knew we would return/pay for them if lost but the night staff seemed to be surprised we were asking for umbrellas when we went out.the porter that evenring also was a 👎 for us. Your staff needs to know that clients will ask for help,directions,recommendations etc,in my opinion thats part of the job. We didnt feel valued by them as clients. The morning team more than made up for it though.
