My husband was turned away after booking for himself and my 3 young boys, had some car issues and arrived late for check in. Clearly he explained this to staff and the response he received absolutely infuriates me with the sheer arrogance alone. Staff replied with "the chickens are all been put back in the coop, i wont be coming down to check amyone in" Shame !!
