Gairloch Hotel

8/10 Good
"Plus: Arrivée très bien, réceptionniste polie et courtois. Chambre très propre et confortable. Salle a manger personnel très serviable et attentionné. Moins: repas très moyen. Départ: En sortant de l’ascenseur lors de mon départ, je croise la réceptionniste (blonde) qui venait de laisser la réception a quelques mètres de la. Elle ne me dit pas bonjour..rien. Nous étions les deux seuls dans le lobby!!! Normalement, elle aurait du retourner au comptoir pour me recevoir et prendre mes clés et me facturer mon repas de la veille.(Hébergement déjà payé sur Expedia). Et me demander si j’avais passé un bon séjour. Mais non, elle me dévisage et poursuit son chemin sans m’adresser la parole. J’ai donc laissé mes clés sur le comptoir, ai attendu 3 minutes et j’ai quitté. Dans le même après-midi, je reçois un courriel très bête me disant, « you left this morning without paying »!!! Ce a quoi j’ai rapidement corrigé les faits en disant que l’a réceptionniste m’a croisé et ne m’a pas adressé la parole, et bêtement poursuivis son chemin vers je ne sais où. Que j’avais attendu mais qu’après 3 minutes, j’avais laissé mes clés et quitté car ferry a attraper. Pour me faire répondre qu’elle « était probablement occupé avec un autre client ». Alors je crois que vous comprenez bien que le client dans cet hôtel, n’est pas traité comme il se doit. Dommage car la propreté et la chambre était très bien. Pour cette raison, je ne recommande pas cet hôtel."
