I totally totally agree with you Paula, and I think the way you handled the situation was very true of the person you are..... |

Mersey as you know I had my own training company and was involved in training for over twenty five years. Almost all of our new business came from referral and recommendations. We had to have regular OFSTED inspections our customer satisfaction always scored us as excellent. I am aware that people will judge situations and services differently. However I know for absolute sure that a complaint can be turned into a more positive response by the way that the complaint is handled, that in my opinion is the key to a successful organisation with happy customers and happy staff. |

Polly my friends own a Pub/Inn and I have to say they apply a strict procedure from first contact right through to the end.....they also make sure that there is always someone on site at all times......I think its disgusting how you were treated and I really do think lack of communication on their part should be looked into, especially by themselves, it takes nothing to step back and pin point where the problems may lie no matter how small or how big........ |

Yes I know but I can't be fussed, I don't think it would change the way the manager operates. Obviously she was aware of my mobile call and a simple reply back would have been enough to satisfy me. I think her response was quite dismissive, its a pity good manners are not on sale in Sainsburys :-D :-D :-D |

DET I have just looked on trip advisor to see if I can post a reply. It seems that I cant make another comment. I need to visit the hotel again after three months before I can access my original comments, I don't think I will bother. |

IGP How strange that the manager should say that I have printed confirmation of the booking, so how was I to know the hotel was closed. Not a very professional way to conduct a business. |

Last year we needed to spend 1 night in Jasper .............. in mid-August, which is high summer tourist season, and more expensive even than winter skiing season |

I have been very lucky with almost every place I have booked over the past few years, whether self catering cottages or somewhere to lay my head for just a night or two. I read every review I can find and if there are more than a couple of negative reviews I scrub the place from my list. |

TripAdvisor also remove bad reviews if the place reviewed asks |

Trip Advisor is a bit scary. I gave a bad review of a pub (no dark ale on tap, no bottled beer, and surly attitude ' Do you want lunch' (in a bored tone) 'No, not now' was my response) - and over 100 people found it useful :-S |

We have stayed at some excellent up-market Boutique Hotels usually they have the highest standards in decor, food wine and definitely customer service. I suppose I expected this one to be the same, unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to test the rest of it out. |

I am quite fussy when booking hotels/B&Bs and we have stayed in some lovely ones - not necessarily the most expensive. I am always amazed at how much work goes into running a successful business - you really have to WANT to do it, and be the right sort of person (I definitely am not the right sort!). Sometimes it's the little things, like the proprietor appearing with 2 glasses of chilled wine, or a big fluffy bathrobe, or the owner's exceptional local knowledge, that make all the difference. |
