Dear RuthEastSussex,
Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your recent stay with us.
I'm sorry to hear that we were not able to meet your expectations this time, I'm sure that if was for you to inform us of your dissatisfaction with the room we would have made everything in our power to provide a better suited room for you.
We understand that being a returning guest you might have a preferred room and we do encourage our returning guests to let us know in advance which room they would like to stay in and when possible we are happy to allocate them.
It is a surprise to hear that a member of our staff was not welcoming, Jack, the staff you mentioned received several comments here regarding his great costumer service.
We are sorry that the lift was malfunctioning and we understand how inconvenient this can be to our guest, unfortunately this things does happen and we do apologise.
Should you wish to give us another chance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us directly to be given a returning guest discount among some other benefits.
