On our last day, we had to leave our rooms before checkout, because the maid had cleaned one room for the next people while we had gone for a post breakfast walk, even though our luggage was still in the room, and for the other room, new refreshments were brought in while we were sat there. We complained to reception staff who first laughed and then tried to come up with reasons for this and then said we did not need to leave the rooms as though it was our wish to do so. Would you expect to go into a hotel room that was still being used by the previous occupants - bathroom, bed, cups and glasses etc? Breakfast was also not as good as it had been on previous visits, good quality food having been replaced with fewer cheaper options. We have stayed at this hotel quite a few times, but we won't be returning. It was a disappointing end to a special 75th and 70th birthday treat for our parents.
