I used to stay at the Suites Hotel when I travelled to Merseyside on business. Not any more, and I would not recommend this place to anyone - it’s really let down by the terrible attitude of its staff.
I booked two nights. On the first night I arrived in my room to find a broken TV remote. I called reception to ask them to replace it, and was told that the Duty manager was dealing with a conference but would sort it out in 5 minutes. OK, this is a minor matter, but you’d think that it was easy to sort out. Not at the Suites – no-one turned up at all to fix it the whole time I was there.
I later ordered room service – I got horrible lukewarm stew, dry lumpy mashed potatoes, and a salad with no dressing.
The next day, the second day of my appointment had to be cancelled – I phoned the hotel at 1pm to cancel the booking for the second night, but was told I should have done it by 10am, and I’d have to pay the full price for a room I wasn’t going to use. I told them that I’d be back for several nights in a month, so you would think they’d do the math and work out that if they were flexible then they’d make more money out of me. But no – no negotiation, just a blank stare and a ‘Reservations manager’ reciting the hotel’s ‘policy’ a number of times.
Their attitude stinks: they clearly have no respect for their guests. Avoid this place unless you like being treated like dirt.
