Terrible, disruptive stay

1. The duvet covers had blood on them. 2. We were locked out of our room because the key card was not working. The staff's override system did not work to restore this. It took more than an hour late at night to get the door open. 3. On Saturday night, again late at night, the hotel fire alarm was activated. It was a false alarm but the staff were unable to switch it off. All the fire doors in the passages closed automatically and there was panic amongst the guest. Even when they returned to their rooms, the alarms were still blaring directly inside their rooms for 40 minutes before it was eventually turned off.

I booked a golf course facing room on Hotels.com and I was not allocated one. I had to request and move after checking in. The staff are not ready at 6h30 when breakfast starts. On 3 mornings we had to wait for breakfast as various items were not yet ready and laid out. Not acceptable for us as we were under time pressure to get going. And, for a business hotel to not be able to order a poached egg is unacceptable. I have never had that at a hotel before.
