“Disappointing, when it could have been otherwise . . .”
This hotel claims to be pet friendly - it's not! On booking the weekend, the member of staff who took the booking was not keen with the fact I was bringing my pet. When I arrived with my small, well-behaved dog the receptionist screeched that she was terrified of dogs, and said that in Kenya dogs were not pets! On booking in and out, I was asked each time for payment despite the fact I had paid in advance over the 'phone.Thankfully I had my receipt. None of the televisions in the hotel were working that weekend which meant
my evenings were boring with only a radio to listen to. I made my views known on the matter to no avail.Tthe manager just shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do about it. On the positive side, the majority of the staff were friendly, my room was clean, and the food was very good.. The location of this hotel is excellent as it's one minute from the train station - ideal for a non-driver like myself - and it's a couple of minutes from the sea-front. Despite this, the hotel didn't live up to my expections as regards my intended relaxation in the evenings. Also I don't think it should advertise being "pet friendly" when it's obvious that the owners do not like pets. For these reasons I would not go back. A pity . . .
